Art,

The simplest item I've seen is made by Maxtec, the company that took over
Ceramatex's O2 product line. They make a BC adapter that drops the pressure
from your BC hose to 3.5 psi creating a very low flow. The opposite end
plugs into a short piece of tubing which connects to a barbed adapter. The
adapter has a M16 X 1 thread which is made to screw onto the Maxtec Handi O2
Analyzer (see  http://www.maxtecinc.com/handi.html for pictures). It also
screws onto the end of a Maxtec Max 250E (the replacement for the Ceramatex
CAG 250E  - see http://www.maxtecinc.com/max-250e.html ) which seems to have
the longest life and most stable performance of any of the sensors out
there. It makes a nice package and is not outrageous in price ($65 for the
sensor, $24 for the BC adapter and $6 for the barbed adapter).

If you use a sensor other than the MAX 250E you could make your own "barbed
adapter" for next to nothing.
