A water aspirator station can bee easily constructed from a 5 gallon bucket using a spa or pool pump (with a minimum rating of 100fpm) and some pvc fittings.  I believe that there is a pictorial of how to construct a nice one over at SM.  I'll see if I can find it and post a link here.

If hardware stores are not turning up results for fittings, maybe try one of the major home improvement superstores.  They have every pvc fitting imagineable.  and you can sub hose and clamps when a fitting is unavailable.  Think ghetto.


EDIT:  here are some links that may bee useful:

If you would have used the search engine:

you should have found your answer already   ::)  Use a thread gauge and a ruler to determine which type of fittings you need  ;) They're available on ebay if not from anywhere around there  :P You probably haven' t looked in the right place yet, start thinking like a plumber  :-X  The end really does result from the effort applied  8)
