Yes, I fully agree that the use of standard fittings will make things easier and less costly in the long run - well not for me since I have two sizes in my tool box
. I plan on starting up the equipment Saturday morning so it'll be Monday or Tuesday before I post pics and a breakdown of parts I sourced and overall cost.
As for the ball valve/core removal tool, I opted to go this route in the unlikely event I need to R&R a core (you never know). I'll have numerous systems (sister, parents and my home) in the long run that I'll be installing and supporting if this performs as well as I expect.

That seems like a good way to go. No adapters needed. Just the standard stuff.
I never had the need to pull out a valve core (just on bicycle tires).
I guess it would be good when brazing copper near the connection.
Just have to wait & see what that's about when you start your project thread.
