Mark, any chance you'll make these at some point? Just received a new one from somewhere else and the quality............who am I kidding, there is no quality in the hunk I bought.
Thanks,
Aaron

You realize you can make something functionally identical with plumbing supplies, right? It'll look vastly different, but a T and a couple of barbed fittings of the appropriate size will indeed work.

It's not that easy, because of where it fits and the parts it connects. About the only practical way to make a homemade substitute is like what is shown in Frankvw's thread above -- a short length of hose with a metal tube stuck in the side.

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather use the correct part than to bodge together a makeshift repair.
