You may be able to purchase a replacement through Euro-Reef, ASM, or some place like that.

FWIW, a venturi like this one will not work well on a NW/Meshwheel skimmer. This venturi and others that are used on "venturi driven" skimmers are designed to work effectively in a pressure situatation...these "push" type venturi's do not draw much air in a "pull" type situation. there are venturi's specifically made for an aspirating setup (where the venturi is on the pumps intake) like the one that randy linked to. THere are several DIY's you can do, but I would suggest research the principles behind a venturi or find a good DIY link before you make one yourself....or at least be prepared for lots of trial and error
