Remix of the backplate from TypQxQ's PTFE connector to add an o-ring to better seal the inside of the box. I really liked the PTFE through design of the original and how it held the tube firm in both directions, but the air leakage through the connector was more than ideal. As a bonus the o-ring allows the PTFE to rotate in the connector without breaking seal.

I designed it around 3.8mm x 7.6mm x 1.9mm Buna-nitrile o-rings I used before for PTFE tube end cap that worked well. My supply came from an assorted pack, but you can find this size in packs on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00595MG6M).

Starting with the "thicker plastic" backplate of the original I made the base a little thicker and recessed a pocket. Into the pocket you place an o-ring sandwiched between two "caps". A little bit of glue to secure the outer "cap" and you have a tight seal around the tube. I promise that "cap" made more sense in a previous iteration.

With these installed I can now get enough
