Default Does anyone know of a rubber vaccum tee manufacturer?

I need to find one for my kits: will come with all new nylon vacuum lines, but need to find a good "tee" supplier. Nitrile is best, but need to see what's out there.

Pep Boys (and others) always have a pretty good selection of vacuum tees.

I've used drip irrigation tees in the past - 10 to a bag - and they lasted for years.

I'm with Randy - also used them on my washer system.

I think the ones I buy from Page Auto are made by Wurth. Every product I've seen from them is top notch.

I went to kragen and got a cheap plastic tee it is white barbed plastic...

I am sure a spinkler tee will work....

THen take the plastic tee and put some short rubber vac hoses on it... (like 1.25")

Voila.... rubber tee.... (with plastic center)...

THe factoy original part for the tee and check valve are ridiculously expensive (like $120) ??
