the setup in my picture was all I had to feed my reactor and used the small JG type ball valve for control

ya, that.. the drip valves are a cheep needle type valve. on the output is fine, and a ball valve on the input is fine as long as your just using it as a on/off or don't need fine control, I regulated my reactor at the input, not the output.

Not sure if you got one yet do do what your looking for, but this is what I used. Also used for drip irrigation and it simply threads onto 1/2" PVC. The one I got splits into 4 - 1/4" ports but there are ones that split to 2 ,4 or 8 I believe. I just got it at Home Hardware.
