Sorry for the total newb question. I notice the connection on the false bottoms are 3/8" while the connection to the inner part of the manifold is 1/2". Will this work when connecting a tube between the two or does one piece need to be modified to either 3/8 or 1/2? and which is better or more efficient when pulling wort, the larger or smaller tubing. Didnt know if it mattered or if there is a more ideal size. Thanks for looking.

I'm sorry I'm not entirely sure what your asking. Your going to use a false bottom AND and a PVC manifold? Maybe upload a picture so we can help you.

Same size. Just as long as the hose is attached were it won't come off during the mash process. That would be bad.

Sorry if its a little unclear. Im Talking about the 3/8" connection at the top of the false bottom where you would connect the hose then run the other end to the 1/2" connection on the inlet of the spiggot. Do they both need to be the same size as I assume it would give a better fit for the hose or will it work as is.
Ok I gotcha now, I would say no, your going to be using your valve to restrict the flow generally speaking anyway. Mine has a bushing or reducer of some sort on it too.
