For 3/4", you can use a cap and drill a hole in it.
I did this and it worked fine for me :)

What store did you get this at and can you get a 3/4" to 1/4" tubing adapter?
i have a lot of 3/4" pvc and would like to use it instead of buying 1/2" pvc. if you can't get a 3/4" adapter, then I will probably convert the 1/2" to 3/4" pvc.

You could also use a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter.

Ya, I found it there too, but I couldn't justify buying that many when I only needed one. Also, I get free shipping through Amazon.

I was going to use this adapter but wasn't for certain if there was anything "easier". I think I'm going to try the cap on the 3/4" tube and see how that works for me. I'm only going to use it to monitor the reservoir level.
