hmm an 'h' adapter?

I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of an 'h' adapter of some kind.. I plan to use a t-line for filling / bleeding.. but the way I plan to setup my system will put the radiator outlet and my fillport in about the same place.. I figured an adapter in the shape of an 'h' would be better than a 't' with the tubing for the fillport bent massively.. rather than using an elbow.

Or would it be best to try to find a 'y' splitter? idk.. i've attached a picture of roughly what it will look like if you and figure it out, rofl.

THe circle is the pump btw..

i would think a y would do the exact same thing

it would, but the bend coming from the T would be rather tight.

Hmm I guess I'll do that.. I kind of thought up the question having a brain fart then made my junk diagram.. thats why the mention of the Y is last

I guess I'll get a Y fitting then..

btw anyone have any idea why the barb on the T fitting I have is so freaking big? it is made for 1/2" ID tubing but it seems to be huge.. I put some tubing on it and it took forever to get off.. soaking it in 190F water for like 30 seconds didnt seem to help at all either >_< the tubing is clearflex 1/2" ID 3/4" OD.

Just use a Tee and an elbow to make the so-called "h" adapter

hehe I thought about that.. but its a REALLY cramped space.. I dont plan on having my fillport a single MM farther from the end of my radiator outlets than I absolutely have to (to be able to get to it to fill it)

edit: I'll probably just go ahead and use a 'Y' fitting. hopefully home depot has one when I go to look for clamps tomorrow.. if they dont have one then screw it.. no way i'll wait a week for a $1.50 fitting to get here my t-line will just be kinked slightly. (now that I think about it.. does it even MATTER if it is kinked? provided there is SOME space for air to get through..)

Well if you do not mind any soldering:


That would do exactly what you want I would guess.

the copper pipe thing might be too big

The distance from the edge of the t to the edge of the 90 on some copper fittings i have is aproximately 2 5/16 in. Imo, that would be a much better sollution if you have the tools for sweating copper pipes. You can even make the dist smaller by removing some copper from the fitting. Ive removed up to 1/4 inch from each fitting when sweating pipes with no adverse affects.

thats a bit like how mine is set up.. i used a Y seems ok good luck

p.s use a T then an L right next to it
