but for less than £14 a shot. Does anyone else make them?

On a related note, how large is the difference between T pieces and Ys? T pieces seem to be far easier to source so I may end up going down that road instead
 
If your spliting a single flow into two then the y's are the best.
If using to create a T-line, header tank, drain, either is fine but T is slightly better.
Why not use a barbed T or Y - metal ones are available (1/2 and 3/8) if you don't want primoChill ones

Two uses. One is I want to run some blocks in parallel, and the other is a means to work a second pump into the system. Neither are exactly required but I like the idea.

Ebay will ship me a 30x100x150mm sheet of acetal, as long as the lab has tools to cut plastics I should be able to make many. I'll have to run up and ask I think.
 
The metal barbed Y are only a few quid inc - not worth doing a custom Y - that is extreme :D
As to parallel - good luck with that one - typhoon 3 is only workable option I know of with multi block loops
 
To avoid jubilee clips it might be. As long as I get into the swing of things with the milling machine I can probably produce more L, T and Y pieces than I could ever need. Besides, I really like machining and need more practice with it.

Parallel blocks does indeed bring many issues. Basic things like splitting the tubing with a Y, putting a mosfet block on each loop, then combining the tubes with a second Y must be fairly foolproof. Trying to decide which blocks get more flow rate and which are starved is more difficult. A manifold is perhaps the ideal but surely very tricky, shall start small I think.

Thanks for the warning :)
