Default Help with locating 3/4" y fittings.

I'm about to weld up my modified intercooler coolant manifold as shown in the first picture. Can anyone suggest a source for the 3/4" Y fittings as shown in the middle of the second picture? (I borrowed the second picture from the recent RKT Performance for sale thread)

Thanks for the tips. I browsed the Grainger online catalog and couldn't find them. Can anybody supply a part number for them?

My LS9 will be going in a mid engine kit car. The intercooler reservoir tank will be higher than the bricks so I thought I wouldn't need the bleeders in that location.

Thanks for the leads. Think I'll go with the AC Delco #34102 (also known as #88909496). Available at Jegs and Summit.

It is glass reinforced Nylon. Good to 480 degrees. Made for use in the auto industry.
