Help me find this venturi body

Help me find this venturi body

Help me find this venturi body

(OP)
Hi, I'm looking for a few of these venturi tube body's to make an oxygenation setup for a large fish tank I keep bait in.  I can't seem to locate them anywhere.  They are just simply a plastic/PVC venturi tube.  I've seen a few pre-made setups for sale online but would prefer to tinker with it and make my own.  Thanks for any help!

The venturi body threads into the sleeve and the two o-rings provide the seal in order to get the venturi effect.

Oh, I forgot to add.  I believe the venturi OD of the inlet is somewhere between 3/4" & 1"

So get some PVC barstock and machine it yourself.
The stuff is soft enough to handle in a wood lathe.
Use really sharp tools.

I've thought of that but it would involve me buying a lathe.  I'd rather just find the venturi already premade.  Thanks for your suggestion though
