My project is currently stopped because I cannot find a 1 1/4 inch aluminum T for a water manifold connecting to my Weber's. I do not have the ability to weld aluminum so I am looking for solutions. Does anybody know where I can buy this piece. Thank you. [email protected]

Fletch, while it's not ideal, if you can't weld aluminum or ss then you could probably make do with soldered copper. In other words, you can probably find a 1 and 1/4 T in copper at Home Depot and then solder on the end fittings you need. For a cooling system running around 1 bar it should be fine. Just an idea.
I have some copper fittings but I was worried about a galvantic reaction between the metals. Thanks for your input. Jim Fletcher

Hi Jim, well, there will be a galvanic delta for aluminum or ss too - perhaps it's greater with copper, but perhaps not. Some smart metallurgist on this site can probably advise whether copper v. iron block/ally heads will cause a greater galvanic reaction than either aluminum or ss.
Is the T to be fitted metal e metal? Or with rubber/hose end fittings?

You could start with Mcmaster part number 44705K349. Be forewarned: it's not pretty....

That and three pieces of AL pipe threaded at one end would get you something you could clamp a hose to.
Sorry, best I could do.
