Does anyone know of a good (or cheap but adequate) brand or source of garden hose "Y" fittings or "Tee" fittings? With or without valves, but hopefully just plain tube-fittings, not screw-on adapters for tthe "end" of a hose.

I wnat to insert a permanent brancch in a hose line.Once I patch them into the hose, they can stay there for years.

I have one super-long hose that was wikth the house when I bought it, but I would likke to cut it in to three lemngths and pujt a Y or T at each junction. The only hose spigot in back is hard to reach, and I would like to leave it open all the time, and run a 15-20' length of hose to where I WISH the spigot had been. And then run a branching hose line from there.

I coluld cut a patch regular screw-fittings, then add Tees and valves, but I wish I could find cheaper and simpler fittings: instead of screw-fittings, just a tube that I could push into the hose and secure with something like a hose-clamp.

Normal screw fittings always seem to leak for me, and it just seems loike over-kill to install a male plus a female screw fitting, PLUS a Tee, with another pair of screw fittings on the other leg of the Tee, when all I want is a three-way with ridges, that would let me "branch" a hose.
