have you requested your local store to order them for you? They probably have them in a warehouse some where and can have them delivered to the store for no additional cost? My father installed sprinkler systems for a living when I was younger I know that sprinkler systems have occasion to use a 3 way pipe. You might check with a local sprinkler system installation person they might have some and you could buy them from them
