Street Tee?

First Post. I'm trying desperately to get my Ridgewood installed and going before any serious weather comes through. I've pretty much got it except for tying into my gas boiler. I've got a flat plate HX that I need to install, problem is to make the install easiest I've got a space constraint. I need 2 tee's and a ball valve right in line with each other. All 1-1/4" copper. if I could shave off an inch somewhere I could make it work. Problem is that all the mentioned fittings are female, if just one end of any of them were male I'd be all set. I can't seem to find a street tee big enough. I found this one but it's 3/4:

I did find this one which looks like a street tee in the picture but no mention in the description. Seems the whole product line is using that picture:

Anybody have an idea on what I can do? I just need this one part figured out and I'll be set.

Yes, they don't seem to have any either. Street elbows yes, but I need a street tee.

That's going to be a hard one to find at any supply house in my area and you better make sure you have your pants securely fastened if you do find it

***Trying no to push a specific BRAND***
JUST HAPPENS TO LOOK LIKE THAT
If you are tight on space, you should look at WEBSTONE, they have some very unique compact designs. But like Slim says, hold on to your pants, they aint going to be cheap

Yeah I found and ordered this yesterday:

The price actually isn't too much more than the individual components. To me it's more than worth it as it saves me from having to do some goofy things to get it to work.

Can't beat that price and webby'z are excellent. Another option we do is make our own Teez using a pipe port machine. But you can do it by hole saw also. Just have to silver solder the new port joint, like we do on oxygen piping.
You can see examples of this on those cheap manifold tubes where there are no tees. Just a bunch of loop ports on a regular piece of pipe, and they aren't even silver soldered.
