Can I just tee off my washer connect to these 3 fittings to 1/4" line to the emitter?

If that isn't good I've also bought some line from dripworks and will use what wednesday13 wednesday13 showed me using sharkbites and ball valves

Are you just doing cold water? Do you have chloramine in your tap and need a pre filter? I'm assuming it's fish that don't need ro to rodi

I just used a tee , ball valve to 25psi regulator then to a adjustable or set gph dripper on the drip side.

You could do the shark bite deal but your going to have to splice into a cold water line which I would try to avoid doing unless its a necessity.

no chloramines, all peacock bass so no rodi and yea was gonna use cold water from the washer connect through a tee
 
Was your pressure regulator the plastic ones or a brass one? Also was the ball valve inline or a male to the female tee from the water supply?
 
Plastic one and it was a tee or Wye fitting with built in shutoffs. In forget the name of the fitting

Looks like you need a connection to the washer line. Hose thread different than pipe thread. Home Depot or most other hardware stores will have a hose tee or splitter. Each side has a small ball valve. One for your washer hose and the other for drip line. You need a hose thread x pipe thread adapter for the drip half. Also in the drip irrigation section.
