Re: Legal Pneumatic Fittings - Nipples & Elbows?

Also according to R77 (e), any tubing used has to have an ID of 0.16". So I don't think using 1/4" NPT would be any more useful since you're still limited by the tubing.

Are you sure it isn't ports with 1/4" OD that you're thinking of? Because the 1/8" NPT ports we have fit 1/4" OD tubing. The 1/8" NPT ports have an ID of 1/8". It can be a bit confusing that the 1/8" NPT ports have labels on them saying 1/4.
