Does anyone know whether McMaster-Carr carries Sanke or tailpiece fittings? I'm talking about items like these:







I wasn't able to find anything in their online catalog, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. I frequently see useful parts linked here that I missed in my searches - they stock an overabundance of options. :)
 
Yeah, I've found the specific items in the above pictures at a few different homebrew and keg supply places.

I didn't phrase my question very well. What I'm trying to find out is whether this type of fitting has a standard name or use outside the beer world, and whether a general fittings supplier like McMaster or Fastenal would have a wider variety of these connections.

As an example, you can find a few male or female flare fittings at all of the homebrew supply sites in a couple specific sizes, since they're commonly used for CO2 and corny kegs. But you can find dozens, if not hundreds, of different MFT/FFT connectors, adaptors, and fittings at McMaster, since that fitting type is used in several industries.
