Anyone knows where to get this "multi-port" tee PVC? (The vertical pipe shown in pic.)
Or it should be called manifold?
I don't want to glue 4 slip tees together. This tee looks cleaner and more compact.

Thanks.

you could either build it using, 90 bend, 5 valves and a 4 way manifold, or buy a PVC 5 valve inline manifold. Most plumbing stores will sell.

It’s not a tee, it’s (as you stated) a manifold. If you google “pvc manifold” you’ll find many different types of these. Obviously ignore the ones people are making out of multiple tees.

I don’t know where the exact one you have pictured is from, but seems like a lot of these are used for irrigation.

If you got to PVC fittings online, you can find tees that have one branch as a spigot. If you used these you could basically get the close fit you are looking for. https://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/1-2-sch-40-pvc-street-tee-444-005.html

Hope this helps a little bit.

If you google hot tub manifolds you may find one that could work for you
 
My go-to for all my odd plumbing needs is www.savko.com

If they don't have it, try www.usplastics.com

If neither of them have it, make it yourself. Really, that's what I would do anyway. You are looking at all of $3 worth of fittings from your local HD/Lowes and 5 minutes to assemble
 
Aquatic Warehouse in San Diego sells something similar that I picked up. They have a website.

I cannot find this on (what I think is) their site. Can you provide a link?
 
It's not as compact, but if you can't find the manifold, you can use slip/spigot T's, which will be much nicer than just slip Tees.

I don’t have a link. I picked it up at their store. Their website had a chat feature during business hours that can help you out.
 
its much cheaper to just make it on your own then buy one...
 
You can make your own. The fitting to make something that is called a branch saddle, metal ones are called o-lets but that’s a brand name. I’ve seen pvc ones from general plastics.
 
Right. My goal is to make it as compact as possible to fit in my small cabinet, serviceable and disassemble in case I need to clean or replace some part. This is what I ended up with (all 3/4"):
