I'have PEC lines going to my water softener like this: ( I used periodx instead of SPACES so the post would not strip them out)
...............out in of water softener
................[] []
=========Z Z
============
I want to tap into the "in" line and run a line out of the garage undergound to a greenhouse. I bought the fittings to do the job but it occurs to me if I hook things up like I planned I will never be able to unscrew the water softener unless the "?" in the diaghram below is some kind of slip union I can unscrew? Obviously I can screw and glue everything together but I need a way to take it back apart without cutting something - hence the need for the "?". Is there a better way?
...............out in of water softener
................[] []
=========Z Z <- 1" male threads
.....................[] <- 1" female thread-to-glue
.....................| <- PVC pipe
.....................[] _T_ <- shutoff valve
.....................[=]--?--[___] ---- > 3/4 PCV thru wall to greenhouse
.....................[] <- 1" Tee to 3/4 glue
.....................| <- PVC pipe
.....................[] <- 1" glue-to male thread
