use a 3/8 gate valve with threads or a brass 1/4" flow control valve used on air tools to cut the air flow down, and yes you can use hose clamps, its been years but we did it on a cougar and I'm positive we used barbed fittings and tees used for splicing airconditioning lines. I think 3/8 tee for the low pressure and a 1/2 x1/2x3/8 (I am really a plumber too) for the high pressure side. Thats basically the theory on adjustable PS pumps but they have an internal bypass. If you dont want to buy the AC fittings home depot or lowes should have all the fittings to make up the tees etc....
