TCSy CO2 Water Leak

This morning, a leak sprung on the TCSy CO2 table.  One of the dry break fittings on the supply manifold lost its seal and dumped just about the entire contents of the chiller onto the table.  With a quick initial assessment, I don't see any optics that were contaminated (the water manifolds are in the SE corner of the table, away from the optics).  Jeff Bartlett is currently cleaning up the water and repairing the broken fitting; if he can find a spare it will be replaced, if not it will simply be capped as it was an unused port on the manifold.

Edited to add: I took a couple quick pictures of the broken fitting, see attached.

    Installed plug as replacement for leaking dry break fitting. Refilled the chiller with lab water and restarted the system. Observed no leaks on the table. Could not find a replacement dry break fitting. If TCS does not have spares, will order several pairs.
