Default Fuel pressure schrader valve on Holley rails?

What is everyone doing to check fuel pressure on a set of Holley fuel rails? I don't think I'll need it, but it would be nice to have one in case I do. I have a steel T fitting feeding the rails at the left rear and eas thinking I could drill and tap that for a schrader valve, but not sure whare to get one that would work with fuel?

I use a female to male union that has a 1/8" NPT port in it. That's where I install the pressure sensor for the Dominator.

Terrible picture but you can get the point. I put a T at the regulator with a small gauge on one side and the dominator pressure sensor on the other.

Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately I'm too close to the firewall to put another fitting back there.... I still think I'm going to have to try and drill and tap one of the fittings I have back there already.
