From the text: Note: This is for the tee piece only. You need to BYO soda bottle, carbonation caps and dip tube.
The image obviously shows a pair of their plastic carb caps.

Anyway, one could fit a pair of SS carb caps to this - and avoid issues that some plastic carb caps have due to the mold parting line typically running the length of the post on opposite sides.

Now, does anyone know if the bottle thread type they reference is the one that's being phased out in favor of a shorter threaded section and that's making the old style carb caps harder to seal tight?

Cheers!
 
The stainless carb caps with the barb fit both the gas and beverage connectors, I have several.
Also have a stainless that fits growlers and the stainless "standard" carbonator caps.
 
Cheers! I signed up so I could comment on this if anyone is still interested in sourcing these tees. The Kegland palstic tee is PCO 1881, also called "supershorty". PCO 1810 is the taller version, but both are 28mm wide with the same threads.

Williamsbrewing says it will be back in stock 01/28/2021.

I ordered the Kegland plastic tee from CanKeg and it should be here in a couple of weeks. $9 shipped

There's this one in 304 stainless for $8 shipped. Might take a while to get to the states but it's certainly a great price. The weight of steel on top of a plastic bottle might be a little topheavy yet bulletproof.

I intend to use it to fill PET bottles and also as an overflow vessel in between QD and spunding valve when filling cornies, in case my check valve doesn't work.

I grabbed one with the rest of the cankeg order I placed last week. Getting some nukataps and duotight fittings as well and Figured I would just throw this in for the odd time I need to move 2l or so to free up a keg but still want to keep the beer.
