I have made another one for my 36 gallon and changed some of the parts around.
Use the following:
1/2" threaded ball valves (replaces 1/2" solvent ball valves)
1/2" compression Tee (replaces 1/2" solvent Tee)
5/8" flare fitting with 1/2" threads
Flexible tube clamps (unknown size -- I used the ones from my xp3)
You MUST use the tube clamps or it WILL leak water. It costs a little bit more money because of the flare fittings and compression Tee but I feel "safer" with it. Also, as an additional sealer I placed silicone on the threads of the flare fitting before screwing them into the ball valve and compression tee.
