I appreciate the info. I would never "tap first, source parts second". I learned that the hard way long ago!

If you can get 3/16" NPT stuff, fine, but it is not standard...... around here I'd likely have to use 1/4".

Might want to put these good people on your rolodex...

Halfway down the page: [almost] any size barb to [almost] any size male NPT...

On a 1/8NPT they offer barbs of 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16" & 3/8"

Personally, I don't think there is any sense going any bigger that what the inside dimension of the nipple has. If the pulse nipple has a 3/16" ID, then I would match that dimension all the way to the bypass cover and that includes the hose.

Whatever works for you...but did you check the shipping charges?
I'd just end up working with what I could get off the shelf...a $2- part with $8- S&H is not on my shopping list.
