Brass Fittings supplier

hey guys,

do any of you have any fitting suppliers you use? I know of swagelok and mcmaster carr -- but carr is very expensive, and for simple fittings i feel like there has to be a better source out there that I might be missing.

Specifically I'm looking for a metal tee that is 5/8x3/8x5/8 -- it's a surprisingly hard item to find. I know they exist though, because I found a supplier for LP Gas cars in Australia & New Zeland that sell them (just expensive after shipping).

Do you guys know of any place I could look to find fittings?

Thanks!

i ended up just using a dorman plastic part -- the end that the 3/8 hose comes from is the steam pipe at the back of the heads, which i eliminated with a couple JIC barb fittings and teed into the 5/8 heater return hose (going to my header tank, just like like my steam pipe used to do).
