I'm hoping I can get some help with plumbing a water diverting line into the ATO feed on my Cade 1800. The Cade has an ATO reservoir in the back of the display tank, and the pipe/tubing assembly pictured below routes the fresh water down to a float valve in the sump:

What I'd like to do is put in a diversion line with an on/off valve that I could use to fill a nearby RODI container for the Mastertronic. I'm thinking that splicing a T into the flexible tubing section would probably be the way to go, but I'm not sure how to fit an on/off valve to the line coming from the T. Ideally I'd like the line going to the RODI container to be 1/4" PE tubing, but not sure where to get the necessary adapters. Or am I making this more complicated than it needs to be?

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Just watch out for metric pipes, will be hard to find a T
 
Thanks you both for your help. The inline valve with the union fittings clearly says it's 1/2 inch and I believe the flexible tubing is 1/2 inch inside diameter. So maybe metric won't be a problem.

But what can I use to go from the 1/2 inch barb on the T to the 3/4 to 1/4 adapter?
