This is the prototype and what I ended up with. Although I did finally decide to thread the 'insert' fittings, I messed up and dropped the end cap trying to glue it all together and caused a leak - the only solution I can think of is to have the seams all 'plastic welded' and / or (really) make it entirely out of copper - which I am in the process of doing. I'll post the next idea in a different thread - using the same fittings I used for this project.
