Mine came with a variety of adapters but no 'T's. You'll have to make up your own.

You'l need a few short pieces if rubber vacuum hose and some plastic, also a dozen or so golf tees for plugging lines while doing your detective work.

Most of them come with several differnent connectors and plugs. Make sure you get one with gauge on it, you will want it when tracing vac leaks. Something along these lines will work:

Harbor Fright also sell them. I got mine from them three years ago and it has worked great.

I got my Mityvac with an assortment of tips and 2 long hoses so I could cut if needed. I think it's a great lil pump, The only downfall is you have to pump alot if your pressure is low and it gets a little tiring, I almost broke the plastic handle pumping it too hard. But that was because I had no tee that fit the break line and it leaked unknowingly, I thought it fit after I shave it down but I guess not..
