I am looking for a brass T fitting with barbs and a hose thread much like found on an automobile coolant flush kit. Looking for an easier way to winterize my Yanmar 3YM20 engine than removing the seawater cooling line from the strainer each year to suck up RV antifreeze from a 5 gallon bucket. With an inline T fitting I could just remove the cap and screw on a short piece of hose onto the fitting. Any ideas on where I can find such a brass fitting? Thanks

If fresh water, any plumbing supplier will do. Make sure get the higher quality one.

If seawater you want bronze. Defender will sell you a bronze tee, 2 pipe to hose adapters and either a pipe plug, or nipple and cap.
on the smaller yanmar engines, I use to purchase a three way brass fitting with shut off to the third line added to the sea water inlet line to the engine.. I would close off the seacock or water intake, fill up the line with RV non toxic anti freeze and then stick the hose in that gallon jug and start the engine. You would then watch that fluid being sucked up out of the gallon and then if needed put it into another gallon until I saw that fluid exiting out thru the exhaust and then shut the engine down. I would then fill the diesel tank up adding anti gel and the engine is winterized. Simple and it works.
