The Type N F-F-F "T" adapter is military P/N UG28A/U, made by Amphenol and
others.
The UHF F-F-F "T" adapter is military P/N M358F, but I haven't seen one in
many years -- don't know if anybody makes them with sufficient quality to be
trusted.

I will be interested to learn how the tubing works out. I suspect that in a
straight run the corrugations would serve as bearing surfaces rather than
snag magnets, but you will find out and hopefully report.
And the second empty pipe is a great idea. Our cables must be little more
than rabbits as they sure do multiply fast.
