Yup.  Overkill.
Getting started on CNC?  In or passing through my area?

I looked for one.  3/16 1/8 3/16 reducing T.  McMaster was a wash.  Autoparts stores were a wash for metal, but they do have a plastic vacuum T in the over priced "HELP" line of parts.  I used it last time, and it broke upon disassembly.  I was also never completely convinced it was gasoline safe.  There was a plated brass one on eBay, but it was 24.50 plus tax, and the 1/8 leg had no barb.  I even looked for an OEM part on the manufacturer's parts page, but was not able to find a parts breakdown that included this part. 

This was my answer.

You do what you have to do, Bob.  I've 'wasted' time doing such things, too, because there were no commercial solutions I trusted.

Good on ya'!
