Coolant plumbing - t-piece

I am after a t-piece connector for coolant hoses. 32mm external on the 2 main connections, with 19mm branch. – Any ideas where I can get one from?

local plumbing supplies? if not, make one from a 32mm t & a 32 to 19mm reducer.

(is 19mm a standard copper pipe size?)

B&Q might have the bits you need in a super store.

Standard copper sizes are 15mm and 22mm

If you go searching places like just-solder-ring.co.uk you can find a wider choice but even then its

8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 22mm, 28mm and 35mm

easy solution, if you need 32 and 19mm then you can use a 15mm solder ring fitting and push you pipe over the outside of the fitting, which is about 18mm diameter, and use a jubilee clip to pinch it tight, and for the 32mm one use a 28mm yorkshire fitting which has a similar OD.

I once soldered a 22mm solder ring fitting INSIDE a 28mm pipe! It lasted for trackdays without a problem.

If you are doing pipes onto the correct size pipe, crush an olive on with a compression fitting first then remove the fitting and nut, the olive will help hold the pipe on.

I used 32mm ally pipe sourced of ebay for a couple of quid and half of an alloy hose joiner sourced with my silicon hoses for a few pounds.

A bit of tig welding and job done!!
