Here's a source if you are really desperate! Item number: 220418668308 on Fleabay! $75??
Hi Kim,
those Tee components are machined from brass bar stock, have to be pressed together then fitted with o-rings. For the small numbers of those Tees that will fill the world market for them vs the fixed costs of the machining set-up, the grim reality is, that price is not entirely out of line.

Not to mention the cost of the fees that fleabay wants when they make a sale.
Try a search for tees.A couple guys built or repaird theirs.
One guy put a tee in a drill and cut shallow grooves in his tees with a hack saw blade and put o-rings on them.
Another guy made some out of brass.
And I believe a couple guys were contemplating seeling them.I dont know if that came to fruition or not though.
You can probably fix yours if you want to save the cash.
