1/8" NPT works but it is not actually the correct size. I forget what the correct size is

I just used a 1/8" NPT fitting.

It is a metric size, not sure what exactly, however as stated above, 1/8 npt does work.

The correct size is 1/8 bspt (British Standard Pipe Thread). Summit carries it for ten bucks. However Parker has the same part for 2.50. Swagelok also carries a bspt to npt nipple where you would need another fitting. You will have a difficult time fitting a npt into a bspt. The npt is a little larger and will not fit.
