The port in the compressor is 1/8NPT, so attaching normal hard-fittings and tees is the same as attaching to the steel part, it just fits into our robot a bit more easily.

I guess I would counter by saying that you can modify electronics practically all you want. Pneumatics have painful rules in place to prevent accidents that may happen when people don't understand a system.
R65 C might give you a little leeway with that idea though since you are using the existing threads.
