Anderson Metals-57024-04 Brass Hose Fitting, Tee, 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" Barb

I used this Anderson Metals bifurcator on a project that me and the gang completed back in '70. We called ourselves the choom gang back then by the way if anyone remembers us from Kent state. Go Kent State Bullets!! Sadly I bet there are not very many of us still alive these days though. Anyway. I used this, or at least the 1970 version of this, for a project for the senior citizens at the rec center. To this day, as a storypiece I still like to keep my Anderson Metals Brass Bifurcation Wonder Splicer (BBWs we called them as I recall) on my person at all times since it is lodged in my femur anyway. Whenever I catch someone's eye at the return aisle at Wal*Mart I like to tell any youngsters who would care to listen to an old fogey like myself about the quality craftsmanship America used to possess, but sadly with the state of our schools it is not surprising our children are not interested in their heritage.So I got out my splicer and it spliced after some careful splicing,, which I will get to in a moment. The piece of hose that I still have has the markings "#80087DLUGECNON Dangerous: Do not splicEVERYDAY LOW PRICES: $3.99 PER COUNT" on it if any bright child of the future would like to record it for posterity. I spliced it into 3/8 ID 1/2 OD Common bong tubing so that I could invent the motorbong. It turns out this was the easy part, which I thought was strange at the time because normally, the easy part comes later after you have enjoyed your new motorbong. However, at the time of the lighting of the bong, I did not appreciate the gravity of the situation. No... no, that would come later, with fire and blood and judgement.Our gang gathered around as I lit the match. There was a sudden gust of wind, then silence... and then a deafening roar. The magnitude of output from what was by then essentially a weed howitzer was staggering. The ruptured glass flew everywhere, shattering bones, lives and dreams. The smoldering ruin of former joy that used to be a bong vomited out cyclonic amounts of the now suddenly ironic 'Sweet Freedom' Hawaiian blend marijuana smoke. It rapidly filled the room -- after that, it gets a bit hazy.I am an old man now and it is getting near supper and I get very choked up thinking about this so I will simply say that among the many who perished in the subsequent explosions, Barry and me managed to escape unharmed. We were sadly the only ones of the Choom gang who made it out. Look up Boyle's law kids, it isn't pretty when its principles are being understood in the context of being weeded to death. I'm not joking, it isnt funny at all... and you kids say it is harmless. Heh.But anyway, to make a long story short, it turns out that wasn't how you make a motorbong, but rather the steps of creating a rather small and crude but still rather functional and murderous thermonuclear device. My lawyer Tom warned me not to post this because he thinks it might be considered light treason, having just married my hag of an Iranian wife, but I'm posting it anyway because I just got out of prison last week and I consider it freedom of speech and also screw you too Tom you two timing jerk. Yasmin if you're reading this I want a divorce I know what you did with Tom and it broke my heartIn closing, I was amazed that though the motorbong was shattered along with my life (many corpses pave the road of this dreaded drug) and my future, the Tru-Flate 21-467 3/8" Hose Splicer came through unscathed. Infact, and I consider this to be one of life's little miracles, it now has a wondrous golden luster which puts other brass barb hose fittings to shame.Product features include:Pros:Super-high tensile strengthPolishes to a high mithril gleam when placed under enormous amounts of heat and pressure.Doesn't fit as well on today's newer bongs which normally use 5/8 ID Hi-Flo Improved Bong TubingCons:Barbs did not retain tubing, which caused the deaths of 7 of my dearest friends (-1 star) and life imprisonment (-1 star). It did however get Barry out of Hawaii and last I heard he was doing ok and got approved for his student loan so +1 starDeveloped allergy to brass after having this brass hose sticking out of my bone for the last few decadesI look forward to learning from my mistakes during my first attempt at motorbong splicing. My next attempt next week should be completed in time for 4/20. I'll be turning 77 and having a celebration with all my grandchildren and I think it will be nice to spark up with them, one of them hasnt even tried it yet. But this time I plan on using a turbine.

Stinking expensive, but to be honest, it is what it says it is. These brass parts are not thick, but not so thin that they are questionable. These are strong enough for anything and any amount of removal/install. They are low enough profile that they don't get in the way. I am using these 1/4 tees with 3/16 ID flexible line for minimum flow resistance. Specifically, I was interested in the ID. They fit perfect with a bit of elbow grease and with no hose clamp; for my application. I also measured some critical dimensions for all you who care. Approximately........ID= 0.187, OD = 0.250, Barb Maximum = 0.300.

I ran some air lines in my basement and upstairs cause I'm lazy like that (I leave my 2gal compressor+5gal tank in the basement). This splitter worked good to feed a couple lines off and one back down to the tank.

This tee fitting is a nice finish and works great. Barbs are nice and true to hold on the hoses and it is decently built. Would not hesitate to buy this again if needed.

Used this to split the CO2 line in my Keezer, as I needed 5 outputs on my distribution block and only have 4 to work with. The T ran true to size and the CO2 lines fit on nicely. I didn't notice any excessively sharp edges like another reviewer...this is exactly as described and what I wanted.

These are well made with no burs on them from the tooling process. Fit snuggly. Would recommend these to anyone needing a hose fitting. I used for a repair to a propane line on a BBQ.

Good quality in a super great job

Building a Diesel fuel distribution system for a two-tank boat. The alternative to these is a brass threaded T with three MPT to barb adapters. More work, more money and more chances of leaks. I was glad to find this product. Quick shipping.

What can I say about a piece of hardware like this? It does well exactly what you think it would do - connects three pieces of piping.

I needed a tee to add a fuel drain to my power generator, this did an amazing job, works perfectly! Got the 1/4" and I am very happy. A bit on the expensive side, but it will last forever. I ordered a second one in case. No brass 1/4" available at Rona or Reno Depot.

Good product served its purpose I know it's a 3/8 x 3/8 x3/8 but this little part was hard enough to find locally in brass..anyhow it does the job and the price was decent, I think 7 $ yes I know there is cheaper but for the convenience and shipped right to your door it was well worth it ..

A surprisingly hard part to find! I'm glad I was able to track it down

Very well made, will work perfect for the 1/4" vacuum lines on my car, will buy again if I need more
