Dan,

I do not have an exact solution for your problem - However, check your local= hardware store for plastice t-fittings that accept a variety of  hoses= . 

If I ever finish another plane, I will build MANIFOLDs for the pitot and sta= tic "lines".  Here's why:
Static:
1. 2 in coming static ports.
2. AOA feed
3. "squat" switch via "airspeed".
4. Airdata computer
5. backup airspeed, altimeter and vertical speed.
6. etc
Pitot:
1. Incoming pitot port.
2. AOA feed
3. "squat" switch via "airspeed".
4. Airdata computer
5. backup airspeed.
6. etc.

Every connection will be pipe thread into the manifold block and tube fittin= gs (1/16" - aoa, 3/32" - airdata, 1/4" other instruments, metric?, etc.) app= ropriate for the device.  Never again will I use the spider web of t-fi= ttings and odd transitions to get pressure data to the weird variety of fitt= ings on the various sensors....
