Just use a regular PVC valve inline on your return line, no threads needed.

I would have used rigid PVC for a return, but you should be able to get barb fittings to screw into each side of a threaded valve and install it inline.

Use something like this in a valve from Ocean Aquatics

cut the plastic, insert valve. Maybe add some hose clamps, but probably don't need them.
