Jeep refers to it as a "tee". Part #8 here:

You can make one from some copper tubing if needed.

How old is your radiator? Might be a good time to consider updating to an open cooling system with summer coming.

Depending on cost.. you still might want to at least run the numbers on what Cruiser said.... the guy knows what he's talking about... especially with that era XJ.
It still might be worth your while to convert to an open system.
