Is there a 3/4" NPT "Tee" with one hole (middle) having O-Rings instead of having to use teflon tape? I wanted to use it for sandblaster and I wanted something that could come on and off easily, without having to always apply new teflon tape

Fit the T with a high flow quick connector.

What about a 60Deg Hydraulic fitting?
But abrasive was supposed to go through it, I want it removable so I can empty the tank when I am done
Is there a Tee with parallel threads? I am trying to find it on the internet but I cant

Buy an all female Tee and two taper / taper hex nipples and a a taper / parallel nipped.
Could you link me or tell me what to search for the taper / parallel nipped 3/4"? I cant find it

The idea is that the two faces seal so no need for tape or o rings.
Could always use a bsp union again the mating faces seal so no tape or o rings.

Doesnt BSP need o rings?

Either and of the fitting in the ebay link is bsp t and needs ptfe tape but the union in the middle is 2 machined matting faces they seal when tightened together.

This is a UK based supplier, they may be able to help but if you look locally for a hydraulics company I'm sure that they will be able to help you find the bits. You will also need to adapt whatever the other end is to take the fitting. As you are in Europe it may be easier to use metric fittings instead of the American NPT or British BSP but you need to find out what's available locally.
Thank you. At my hardware shop I just ask: "I need a 3/8 T (for example) " and they just give me that I dont know if it is NPT or BSP or whatever. How do I identify, I cant use NPT things on BSP right?

Well strictly speaking you can't however there is only a small difference in pitch between NPT and BSPT so it is often possible to screw them together, the shop should be able to tell you what they are selling you!
The best way to identify them is to measure and check the pitch with thread gauges.
Thank you I will see what I can do
