Re the sliding gate bradsky, the concrete beam should be level.
The length would be at least the length of the gate itself, 200mm min width and I'd go at least 350mm deep.
Is it the valve thats leaking or the t piece where you have sat the new fitting?
Fyi i too am a huge tight arse and try and do all trade work myself, I stopped doing electrical after i got booted though.
A friendly warning to DIY'ers
While DIY work is largely legal in alot of work around the house , however there are some areas that requite a licenced qualified tradesman, including cabling, gas fitting, digging up piping and so forth is illegal without a license. It's also incredibly dangerous in some aspects and can leave people liable for costly repairs or medical bills.

dunno if there are newer style ones to replace the T type, but you can still get them from bunnings...
I need to replace one as well, but CBF draining the hot water tank
if you are a super-tight-arse, you can get reconditioned PLV's as well, but they are not much cheaper.
main thing is to get one with same pressure (and function), and with same threads so you don't need to use adaptors or fark around with pipe length.
i'm sure a plumber can give better advice tho (and I wouldn't mind some either)
All of what oc said bung a couple olives on each end and tighten up the compression collars plenty of thread tape on all the threads and you'll be fine. Take the old valve to reece and the counter guy will give you everything you need, they know their shit are cheap and heaps more helpful then the morons they employ at bunnings
Bunnies will also refund you for the other two way coupler you bought, they have a no questions asked cash back policy.
cheers again OC, I have been looking all day for that picture on the netthat T-thing is a pressure limiting valve.

Bradsky, you'll be able to keep the slope of your driveway, there is no problem there. When pouring the mud for the runner though, remember to lay a small slab for the motor if you do wish to add one later.
