It's not NPT, it's a straight pitch with an o-ring seal( but I can't remamber the size right now, mabye it's 3/8-24 but not positive)..... I have seen people screw an 1/8" npt fitting into them though.....

I always use the factory inverted flare adaptors with the o-ring and a 5/16 inverted flare to -6 and to adapt to braided line.....

Ok, I was trying some 1/4" npt fittings but it only threaded in maybe a 1/4 thread before it got snug and I didn't want to torque on it if I had the wrong thread on there.

I have some 1/8" fittings and those are definately too small.

Well 1/4 is too big, the fitting started to cross thread so I backed it out....?
