The closest thing we have is a Camco # CAM37463 which has a 1/2" Female NPT on one side and Male NPT on the two other. Depending on your exact plumbing you may need a few more adapter fittings to connect everything. These additional parts will be available at a hardware/home store.

I especially like how the valve handle has a little "bypass" sign to remind you which way the valve is diverting.
