Re: pic: How do we operate this valve?

I'm pretty sure that's 1/8" NPT. That chromed fitting looks like the standard 1/4" OD tubing to 1/8" NPT fitting. Based on the fingers in the picture, that tubing looks to be a plausible 1/4" OD, and nominal OD for 1/8" NPT is about 0.4". So, while it's a beefy valve, that still appears to be in compliance with the rules. A good measurement to double check would be in order.
