This is what I am doing with the cooler so far.
The pickup tube is 1/2''ID braded PVC.
The discharge is a 3/8''OD that is expandable with lines that branch off and go up and out of the cooler with with 8mmOD lines. The tee fitting with a plug shoved in it is there for future expansion, the 3/8''OD line will act kind of like a manifold. As I need more cold water outlets I can add them as needed.
The return in the middle of the lid is 3/8''OD.
All the pressurized line in side the cooler is stiff polyurethane.
Not sure what to do with the wiring, might use a gland seal.


I am using the good SMC brand connectors. They are not the cheapest but they are the best I know of. I ordered a bunch of them off ebay.
Just search "SMC tee" and select business industrial. Zoro has a lot of them.
