Neither of these places have all of the fittings that I want. Please post any other sites like these two.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for responding so fast. Here's what I need:

5/8 ID barb x 1/2 female npt
3/4 ID barb x 1/2 female npt
5/8 ID barb x 1/2 male npt
3/4 ID barb x 1/2 male npt
5/8 ID wye
Tee-5/8 ID barbs x greater or equal to 1/2 male npt & cap

I forgot to mention that I want some type of plastic fittings.
 
Have you tried a local hardware store? I hate browsing mcmaster/usplastics but I'm surprised they don't have at least most of those. I'm browsing around, let you know if I find anything.

EDIT: I understand the difficulty now, I thought you meant 3/4 npt x 1/2 barb etc..

I've been to Ace, Lowe's, and two Home Depots. They didn't have squat.

On a side note, they didn't have the correct stem replacement for one of my sinks.

I swear that on any of the rare times that I need something, my local hardware stores never have what I need.
 
Cany anyone at least tell me where I can get a plastic "Y" that's 5/8? I have looked everywhere!!!
 
no, I havent seen the 5/8 Y peices, and I dont think anyone knows where to get them, its been asked a few times..

and I beleve that you will need 3/4npt to get those sizes of barbs.

Female to hose barb adapters in the sizes you want are rare. In such a case, I've used a 1/2" FPT x 1/2" FPT coupling, then use a male npt to hose barb fitting. US Plastics does have the MPT to hose barbs in the sizes you mentioned ... I know, I have ordered some before.

I've not had luck finding wye's that large. Tee's can be had in those sizes with barbs all-around, some can also be had with a male npt on the tee middle. Female NPT caps in brass can be found at Home Depot, but I've not found them in Plastic.

I hope that helps. Good luck.
