Water fittings:
This is not a direct answer to the 90 degree fitting...but I was hunting for a T water fitting for my gasser...went to the local PETCO
store (fittings for gold fish water tanks, etc.) and found a brass T with 1/8 ID outlets....great price: $1.79....quite a difference to
$'s on the internet prices for boat stuff...

The reverse barb on those T's is for very low pressure airline and does not adequately retain higher pressure water line very efficiently.
You are inviting a line to blow off those barbs integreating those T's within your cooling system. I would just be very careful using them and tywrap them good. I recon you do that and not put much resistance beyond the T keep it under 50 mph and you will be ok. Myself think it is better to buy the part with the hose barbs designed for the task.
The second picture is a custom water splitter manifold with barbs at 1/4" O.D. for best water line retension and balanced output with decreased backpressure and because of the 3/16" I.D. of the inlet and outlets inlet water pressures are decreased. It could be a lot shorter of coarse but it was built special to match the application. Posted mainly to show the hose barb style best suited to gripping the inside of the silicone line we use most.
