I have also considered using this set up with 3/8" NPT brass ball valves, and tees, along with some 3/8" quick disconnects to 1/2" barbs for the inlet and outlet connections. All connections would be threaded using teflon tape to seal. The ball valves are available at your local Lowe's, and the rest of the parts are available at McMasters on the web. Total cost is about $60 with the quick disconnect connections making up about 45% of the cost.
I did that 3-tap system already in july 2001:

Note that this is a very early stage of my actual PC-70 project.

The used taps are 3/8" PVC Eheim taps for fill & bleed, and a 1/2" PVC Eheim tap in the main loop. The PVC T's are 20mm ID. The copper tubing is 15mm OD.

Actually (after being paint) it looks like this:
