I doubt your pump will have enough pressure to unseat the spring loaded check ball,unless you pay over a $100 for a pump.
always get the pump with the highest head,for the $
They are nice fittings! I'm thinking of buying maybe a 6+ outlet manifold like shown, and as you said, plug the unused ones. My tent only accomodates 4 buckets (3 plants, 1 res.) at the moment (I measured its dimensions).

I don't think the pump I bought does have alot of pressure at the head (outlet), just by looking at it it's not a very large pump. 520GPH. I do not think it can unseat the check valve, no, it is a 1" Check valve. Quite large just sitting in my palm.

If it doesnt seem like i'm getting alot of pressure..I'll upgrade the pump, or just lower the PVC pipe size to 3/4" or 1/2".

I'm hoping I have enough pressure to push nutrients up that big 1" PVC piping :/.
