I would not use galvanized or plastic. I have had both corrode or break. I have been using a brass tee or 90 with a brass hose barb.

I have attached a web site that has the brass fittings.

3/4 Tee $7.03
90 elbow $4.83
3/4 close nipple $3.79
3/4 pipe to 3/4 hose barb $4.14
3/4 pipe to 1 " hose barb $11.31

This may seem high cost but think about digging it up in the winter. Good fittings are worth their cost.

Use brass fitting and stainless steel clamps. This connection will last longer than you.

Also be real careful around old building sites. If they have dumped the ashes out of the stove around and you get those ashes against the steel or brass fittings they will corroded fast.
