Which vaccum line would be the easiest for T

I've been searching and came up w/ trying the EGR vaccum line on the intake.The only problem I'm having is finding a T to make the connection.I determined that I need a 5/32-5/32-3/16 T.And it has to be a rubber T cause the fitting on the intake is a Vaccum Feed type fitting.I went to 4 parts stores and they don't have them.Is there any other vaccum line I can go through.Or an alternate T config to use.The main hose coming from the gauge is a 1/8 hose.

You don't put the "tee" directly on the manifold nipple... you use a short length of hose matching the EGR hose diameter, stuff the male end of the tee into that, then attach the EGR and vacuum gauge (I assume that's what you are talking about adding) hoses to the tee. It doesn't have to be to the nearest 1/32nd of an inch. Just make sure the ID of the tee is at least the same as the line to the EGR valve, then push the gauge hose over that..... shoulnd't be all that hard to push a 1/8" hose over a 5/32" male branch of the tee.
