Personally, I find $25 to be a little steep. If I were going that route, I'd
stop by the hardware store and buy a couple 5/8" barb fittings and a valve
and build it myself out of BRASS rather than plastic. I also would use
proper spring clamps rather than those horrid cheese grater ones he shows.
Seriously, what could that toy plastic valve and fittings be costing him,
three bucks maybe? You could definitely do better on your own.
