The ball valve will not have a way to connect to tubing without the barbs.
So that is going from a sparge tank to the sparge arms then?
the ball valve that you use in your mash tun will not be able to just drain into your kettle without some tubing. You cannot connect tubing directly to the ball valve without a barb fitting. So you have to get the barb fittings along with any ball valve you are going to use.

Oh, i got you. So the ball valve needs connections on both ends. One going into the ball valve, and one on the exterior end of the ball valve to drain to your brew pot.
ETA: and in further examination of the picture, i think i get it now. The false bottom IS below the opening. The grains rise because they are less dense than the water, and due to the volume of the water, the pressure from the water pushes it up into the opening in the bottome of the false bottom, through the tubing, out through the ball valve.
I got it now. I couldn't wrap my mind around it initially. Thanks for the help.
