Custom Ballast Question

I am pulling together the parts to install a ballast system. I plan on T-ing into the raw water intake on the engine. Can anyone tell me where they bought the T for this part of the project? I have tried Home Depot, Lowe's and a couple of auto parts stores.

Also, any suggestions on what to use to attach to the sacs. I am going to use two Fat Boy's in back and two Fat Buddies up front. Can I just use water bed fill attachments, or is there a better way?

Home Depot or any other hardware store has them. I have a plastic tee w/ barbed ends. Just cut your intake hose where you want it and insert the tee and use hose clamps. After the tee I have a ball valve and hose going to my manifold.

I use water bed fittings, there are other options though such as Flow rite quick release fittings.
