You can get the shut off valve that attaches directly to the 1/2" tubing, or add fittings of your choice so that you can Y off in another direction, use T fittings at that point and add 1/2" tubing in another direction, and go from there. Nice. First time I've seen this type of 1/2" poly valve. (I need to get out more :-) |

I got lost reading all the posts and skipped through a lot of discussion part... 3/4" ball valve, new elbow, couple small section of pipe, and new insert. Point was I did not think Danny could pull the "green" portion out of the insert. The insert in a smaller size and a ball valve may not be a match. Your solution makes it a simple task for a shut off. |
