I am going to be connecting from a vessel's TC port to a TC tee and then from the other two sides of the Tee to TC's with 5/8" barbs for 1/2" hosing.
Does it matter what the ID (inner diameter) on the TC tee is as long as it is at least 5/8" (or probably 3/4" since the ID of the barb is probably 3/4"). It seems that most for sale have >5/8" ID.
I know it is strange not to have a ball valve in the equation, but one is the Herms Input and the other is the HLT input (above liquid level). They are both connected to a pump output that has a ball valve. Long story, but I am trying to automate and I only have so many outputs from the controller (uniflex) I can use to control automated valves so I have to conserve.
OK, sorry that went a little off the rails. Even if you are not 3 vessel HERMS, the first two paragraphs of the post are still hopefully answerable.....I was just trying to give context. Happy to share my valve/hose diagrams for anyone that is interested.

- TC Tee 1 (HERMS input)......side 1 is mash re-circ and side 2 is sparge
- TC Tee 2 (HLT input)......side 1 is from the filter after garden hose and side 2 is HLT re-circ
