I have been doing livewell repairs and I can not find in any hardware store a t-fitting to fit my 1 1/8 inside diameter livewell hose. I know there has to be such an animal. can anyone point me in the right direction.?

I need 1 1/8 not 1 1/2 inch. West marine does not carry 1 1/8 according to the website

You are correct. They carry 1" and 1 1/2". I recently had to replace one on a series of drains, I was able to build up the barbs with teflon tape on a 1", then applied silicone and really leaned on the clamps. Since there is no suction or pressure, it works fine.

But on a livewell, with pumps? Nope that ani't gonna work. Let's look around...:)

Here's what you need...
