So, I went shopping yesterday...
I won't tell you how much it was because I suspect T&S vary their prices somewhat and I don't want to give anyone the bum steer. But it was cheap.

The setup is going to be as I posted way back here. Because of the ridiculous prices of compression fittings, I'm going to be draining straight out of the bottom of the vessels. Nipple goes through the bottom with a nut and silicone washer on the inside. The other side of the nipple is connected to an elbow, then the valve goes straight onto that. I considered using straight threaded pipes so the valve protrudes past the edge of the vessel, but it won't be necessary. I've worked out that the valve turns to just the right place so that the handle faces down, and I can reach under the vessel (on a stand with a space in the top) to open and close the valves. If it doesn't work out, or gets irritating, I can always extend it later.....and where are these going to end up then?
I'm also not overjoyed at the diameter of the hosetails on the type E camlocks. It could end up being a bottleneck. I'll see how it goes, and down the track I may decide to up them to 3/4 in, because you can get type B 3/4 camlock with 1/2in thread.
