So, this is what I meant by my hose fittings.
I noticed that it was transparent. I can't tell if the hose goes through or not, but I decided the diameters were the same so it didn't matter. Here's mine next to Savage's original. Both stick into the panel on the side of the grill, but Savage's sticks out on top. Mine has that bit occupied by the hose. I printed it from translucent ABS filament.
In case it isn't obvious, this is how my hose goes through the fitting. Bonus is that you can slide it further in to adjust the loops if you want.
On the other end my problem is that the 7/16" hose is too close to the diameter of the T fitting. If I shove the hose all the way into the T, then the shell would be less than a half mm thick. Pretty sure I'd break that in about 32 seconds.
Instead, I've created a void in the T. Then I printed a translucent nipple to connect the T to the hose. (Here the T is an old one, the new ones haven't finished printing. But the bit above the hose would shove into the T).
I think these are going to work reasonably well.
