urgent, anybody have coolant T's for sale

[sj]

Got home late last night and could smell coolant. Looked at the coolant T, and one was leaking. It also looked like the hose had slipped off. I went to see if I could push the hose on with my hands and the T broke.

This is urgent because we have plans to drive to Mexico on Wednesday. I'm not sure if dealers in the area are open today or what options I have. I'll start calling around soon. In the thread about T's they show the amazon metal ones but they can't get here in time.

Anybody have any they haven't installed and want to sell? and can next day air them to me? I'm in the Phoenix area.

Menards, Home Depot, any hardware store with a plumbing section.
Brass, barbed brass plumbing T's, I got mine at Menards last year as a preventative measure. I also bought new heavy duty worm clamps, total cost was like $15.
Take one of your old T's with you to the store, bum a ride, call a Lyft, borrow a car ride a Schwinn.
I believe they are 1/2" but I am probably wrong.
Thats why you take one with you.

Summit racing can next day air the metal four season ones for $25. I'll try the hardware stores. I'll also hit up autozone and others to see if they have something I can use.

Next day air is going to cost you $50 alone.
When I was going to replace mine I searched and searched and even though mine were not broken...yet...i wanted a once and for all fix, so the hardware store it was.
I even contacted the manufacture of those brass T's to find out the operating temps and pressures, all well within the normal operating limits of a cooling system.
Let us know what you figure out.

Here is the culprit.

I've just used the OEM part, but if I remember correctly, a number of people have posted about using generic brass fittings from a hardware store, or generic plastic/nylon ones from an auto parts store.

You could just loop bypass the heater until you get replacements Ts [either OE or any plumbing type option] sorted out. No heater in the South in June should be doable.
