Default Brass air line T-fittings, where?

Hey guys,

Been doing some looking over this forum for suggestions/techniques for RC pneumatic systems and everyone seems to indicate that brass T-fittings should be used instead of the plastic ones since those leak at the seam.

I've got a project with a Warbird where it had the system installed using brass T-fittings, I converted it to dual bottles and added a pressure guage so I need a couple more brass T-fittings but I can't find 'em anywhere except JetLegend in China.

Where are you guys getting your brass air line fittings in the USA?

Thanks in advance!

Not brass, but these are one-piece metal:

I've also had good luck with these:

I've used the ones in the top link, and they work great. Todd will get them shipped fast.

I have used the Robart brass ones for many years and never had a problem.

Zeeb,
Robart makes a decent "T"- check with your local Hobby Shop.
Mail-order: Tower for Robart, Dreamworks and Tam have really nice "T's" as well.

Actually they are brass, just nickel plated ;-) I prefer these over plastic as well.
