One of the T-piece photos on ebay has a laser engraved mark of PA6 on it, this is the material code which is nylon-6. According to Direct Plastics the nylon has a long term operating temperature range up to 100C whereas PVC only 60C - I would be nervous about using PVC on a heater outlet.

Not sure where that leaves you though, seems it's possible to get nylon pipe but difficult/expensive - maybe steel exhaust pipe is the best option as spuddog says - you could get the T cut and welded up and also weld any brackets or fixings you need on to it?

Also nylon pipe wont bond together with the solvent cement that works on ABS or PVC   The Methyl ethyl ketone won't dissolve it .
