I need to plumb a new little giant coolant pump for my lathe. The pump takes ½" male fittings, the lathe has ⅜" female for the inlet from the sump and ⅜" male for the coolant pipe/nozzle. I'm thinking of using Parker 801 ½" hose for the inlet and ⅜" clear tubing for the outlet (tygon?). Barbed mpt fittings are plentiful, but I'm still looking for barbed fittings that are part of a threaded union of some kind. The original coolant hose fittings are 80 years old and don't seem to be a style that is readily available any more, but maybe I just don't have the right search terms. Also I am sure something with o-rings might be a better choice. Looking for some help. Here are a couple of pictures that show the original disconnects.
