3/16" brass vacuum tees

Anyone know where I can find some 3 way 3/16" brass vacuum tees? I think this is the size as I had a few 1/8" tees and they were too small. Looking to replace the plastic vacuum boost tees that is on the car now for reliability. , Especially the dreaded vacuum hose tee connected to the rear of the intake manifold nipple...Home depot didnt have them and not sure what other plumbing store to go to, and I'm not sure if Hydra-Air on Koapaka will have them that small.

Ill need 3 if anyone has them,..
Thanks!

Try pet stores. 3/16" is standard size for airline tubing. We usually have them but I'm out at the moment. If you can't find them LMK, I'll order some. (Should already have some on the way)

Um, so the open public can buy here and it's not just for jobber/members only? I ask cause it looks so warehouse like and Ive never been there before,...

This is where I went to yesterday and went back today..
I bought a few hose clamps for parts supply and various sized vacuum tees,..Returned the tees that were too large and got the 3/16" tees I needed.

Going to the pet store maybe as my next source as it may be cheaper there......Thanks all for the help...
