Decided to use a brass barb to cut a thread and use that instead of 90o's. The barbs ended up being too close together, so I adjustted them at an angle. I attached the bottom and ran it at full mains tap pressure and the barbs didnt leak, the bottom was shooting water about 3' into the air though - It wasnt screwed down tight, let alone sealed. prev tests with blue tac for sealing bottom workd very well without leaks... will use sillicone instead this time though..
