I'm still new to piston valves as well, but i fell i may be able to help, so i'll voice my opinion. I'm not too sure about what size pipe will give you the best performance, so i'll leave that for someone else (sorry!) but what i did to get my barrel through my reducer (in your case a tee) in my pis...
