That stopper is a nice piece, but by the time you've paid for the item and shipping it's almost as expensive as an already assembled Fortitude tank. By the time you buy fittings for the water bottle tank it will actually be more expensive than the Fortitude. I'm not sure what the appeal is?

You got to pay shipping for the Fortitude too... The biggest advantage is an aluminum stopper that's meant for a lifetime and the ability to use all metal components without need for sealers that eventually fail... BTDT...And after initial cost, replacement bottles are available at any connivence store...as they work with a wide variety of sizes and style bottles.

You're lucky to have such a good hobby shop. Here it would probably take many hours travel and gas to find a shop that even has one... Ordering and paying a minuscule shipping charge is actually a great connivence for many of us...Anyway, be that as it may, easily building a tank that works to our particular liking is another rewarding part of the hobby for some of us.

I'm living in Tucson, Arizona right now. There is a good hobby shop here, Hobby Barn, but it is 18 miles from me clear across the city on the other side of town. The gas and hassle of driving 36 miles of round trip city traffic often makes a few bucks of shipping to just order things online seem like a pretty good idea....

I carry the plastic fittings for the water or juice bottle do-it-yourselfer. Contact me direct if interested.
Also carry the best value gasoline line around for this sort of thing. It's very flexible and stays that way for years. And doesn't carry the Viton price tag
