Hello,
I have 2 swamp coolers on my house. I've tried them with and without bleeders, and the pan looks about 500% better at the end of the season when I DO use the bleeder. My problem is that the plastic T-connectors don't seem to make it all the way through a season. So what I'd like to find is a brass, stainless, or Teflon T-connector, or anything else that will last, or even a cheap source of replacements - anything is better than having to buy the entire bleeder kit just for that one connector! The O.D. measurements of the T are roughly 0.50" x 0.18".
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Bill

Cant you run the water line in 1/4" od then you can get the brass T you want. Or set the units up so when the go off they flush out.
