tapping water line for new line

I want to tap my primary water line to feed a new line out to the driveway.
I found the main water line and I was expecting 1" galv, it's that green ecoat stuff. I bought everything to cut and splice the line assuming it was 1 1/4" OD, instead it's 1 1/16" OD.
I was going to use a 'T' made from 1" galv and food service grade plastic tube from Home Depot. (I used this to patch a break 10 years ago and it's still holding).
So now I need to find a way to tap into this line, I'd like to just cut and splice it, but I can't seem to find 1 1/8" ID tube, I don't know if HD has a 'T' that will fit the coated pipe.
Any suggestions, I don't have a threader and haven't found a joint/coupler yet.
I'm guessing I need to go somewhere other than HD...
Thanks, KarlJay.

There is no meter, where I'm tapping is on my side of the line. It's galv when it gets under the house, so someone has changed things around a bit. I think I'll check some of the real plumbing suppliers, those HD people usually don't know what they are talking about.
