the local supply house just quoted my 125 for a 90 , and 145 fit a tee. Does this seem in line with everyone else? could only find one supplier in town so just wanted to compare.
Thanks

Get a price on a cast iron fitting in 6". You won't feel so bad anymore.0 -
Pricey fittings
This could open up a discussion on the possible merits of welded headers, and how they could be used in a way, which does not damage the boiler block, eg, drop header, and equalizer top only, long runouts from supply risers to header, supported completely by the ceiling, etc--NBC0 -

3" plus fittings/pipes for a drop header end up being as costly as the boiler0 -
Salvage yard
When I built my header out of 4", three quotes for the header pipe & fittings ran around $575.00. I ended up going to a semi-local salvage yard and picked up everything I needed and then some for about $143.00. This particular yard sold cast and steel fittings for about $1.50 a pound. They are on ebay, too, though I don't know if they post fittings. Their name is: Moses B. Glick and are located in Fleetwood, PA, near Reading if your in that area. And for the American inventor/fabricator, it is a place that instills dreams of creations to build with the enormous supplies of metal in all forms. Even my kids drool when were there. : )
Good luck,
