All you need is 1/8" braided steel line with male-male NPT fittings. You will also need a Male-BSPT to Female-NPT adapter because your block has a tapered thread.

i read a few days ago, not to use ss lines from home depot?? i just wanted to know where to get the correct lines. the plastic tubing i got with my guage doesnt seem to stay on very tight... i can pull it out with my hands when its screwed in. i think the "ferrule" is to large for the supplied tubing i got.
