I have a ruptured air hose on my Hardinge VMC. The spindle taper release cylinder has a push to fit tube connected to the cylinder. Thread is a bit smaller than 1/8 pipe. What would the metric equivalent be? It's tapered and I tapped a 1/8 FPT into a block of aluminum and the fitting seemed to fit but a 1/8 MPT fitting is a bit too big to get started in the cylinder hole.
Metric threads on McMaster page look to be straight with o-ring seals. This fitting is definitely tapered and real close to 1/8 pipe.
