3/4" Return to 1/2" Split

[ChuckP]

I have a 3/4" return from my sump to my tank using black vynl tube. I am using a Eheim 1252 which is way more power than I need.

What I want to do is T the return to a 1/2" tube with a valve to regulate the flow into my UV/Phosban reactors. My problem is what I envisioned for plumbing just doesn't exist. How do I use slip fittings with flexible PVC? If all the fittings were FPT I could use the barbs to plumb everything but with slip I am at a loss.

Can anyone provide some assistance?

Here is a quick sketchup I did (not to scale whatsoever) of what I am trying to build. I would also like to incorporate my chiller and possibly CA reactor as well.

You can get a slip to FPT converter, or just buy FPT PVC fittings. What part that you need to use is slip?

I'd use 3 Ys.

Thanx guys I picked up all the stuff on my way back home today, I will attempt to plumb it tomorrow and start my tank thread tomorrow.
