Phil is needing help for his return. He wants to put a ball valve in line.

Here's one solution.

3/4" male adapter
Short piece of pipe
Union ball valve (slip)
Short piece of pipe
3/4" female adapter

This goes between the pump and the hosebarb.

That'll work...B
I'll post a pic of the valve I have.


I would like to do all PVC, but I have to find out about the main tank's bulkheads.

Thanks.

if it's up and running I wouldn't worry about it. The pvc is probably smoother than putting in bends and pipe.

But I'm lazy so don't necessarily take my word for it.
