gungeek said:T's are not flow killers if done right, but I'd think a total of 2 would be enough. I'd put 1 close to the pump inlet and another on the highest tube in the system. Fluid would be added or removed from the bottom one and the top would allow air an easy way out when filling (or in when draining).
gungeek said:To minimize the flow resistance, I try to use a size larger T and strech tubing over it, but that requires 1/8 wall tubing and heating it with hot water. The result is the ID of the tubing and the ID of the T is very close to the same size.
Guderian said:Not to rain on your parade, but if you had two t-lines at different heights in your system and one(the highest) wasn't absolutely sealed, your other t-line would overflow.
also IMHO, filling and bleeding isn't that hard with one t-line.

This is not entirely true. My Home Depot sells 5/8od 1/2id brass tee's that even the generic 3/4od 1/2id tubes could slip over without being heated. They have almost no flow restriction but worm-gear clamps are a must.
