As the topic says, where can I look to buy a t-line locally? I figured I would save some money buying one from a local hardware store like lowes or home depot, but a friend of mine just told me that they are harder to find than I would think. Would looking at one of these places still be valid, or is there a better place to look/call for inforamtion? Also, along these lines, if I do call a store, what dept should I ask for (I would think plumbing) and is there a more specific name for these pieces, or are they really just called t-lines with 1/2'' ID barbs?

i got my t-line at the local home depot 1/2 ID for i think a buck. your friend might have ment hard to find cause the stores are freakin' huge! :)
Canadian tire or home depot stock small fittings, but those pvc ones ARE too big. you will have to heat up tubing a bit to get it to stretch over them. I got my two half inch T's from a irigation supply store. They are black nylon and came to 70cents a peice. heh. felt kind of embarassing going in there to only spend $1.50.
I have still yet to find a y fitting locally. i went to every fish store i could think of and no one has them. those i would have to order online, but there are t's aplenty almost anywhere heh =\
they shouldn't be too hard to get hold of i mean a diy store or plumbers store should have them! im going to get one when i go my dads lol
I get 5/8" (1/2"id) tees from Ace hardware.

I also bought mine at home depot. It was in the plumping section next to the vinyl tubing. The cost was 54 cents.
