I just went to the local hardware store and purchased a 3/4" FP to FP
gate valve and two brass hose barbs (like the fishtank connectors, but
much larger. Used for connecting flexible irrigation tubing to regular
plumbing). I cut one heater hose and inserted it inline. Cost: about
$6.00, and no more toasty toes in the summer!

Works great, I turn it on for about 4 months, off for about 8 :-)

How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would
Jesus Christ have preached if he had taken a poll in the land of Israel?
What would have happened to the Reformation if Martin Luther had taken a
poll? It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It is
right and wrong and leadership.
