I don't think you can buy them ready to go, bit they are easy enough to make yourself ...
do you have a CO2 tank on hand you want to convert?Love my brass ... Love my SSR ... Hard choices ...

You can't buy them pre-made. They need to be mated to your marker.
Mark the top of the valve when fully threaded into asa, Remove valve from tank, shape tube to arc up when installed. , install anti- siphon valve into tank.
Only good for the gun it was mated to, unless the tube points upward on another marker.

He is looking for a siphon not anti siphon.
Normally, siphons are not matched to any particular gun. Instead of a metal tube, they have a flexible hose with a weighted end so that it will point down regardless of orientation.
For the OP, that tube will not be long enough. But you have lots of options
Normally, you would use that fitting, but instead attached a length of microline, so its flexible. At the other end of the microline you can add another fitting to act like a weight. I would usually also wrap an oring around that fitting to help minimize the loud "ding"
If you just want to use parts from the hardware store, find the smallest copper tubing. We would sometimes use 1/16" copper tubing. Its just barely flexible, but works. Same idea. Attach the fitting on both ends, but one just acts as a weight
Just before though. Some pinvalves have a large groove cut into the threads on top of where the vent hole sites, and it prevents it from being used as a proper siphon
I made this writeup 20 years ago, but all the pics are dead links now:
