Jim,
The 3/8 hose I have has 1/4NPT fittings on the end. Rubber hose is much
more user friendly than lightweight flexible plastic. Easy to add quick
release fittings. Be aware that there are at least 2 types of QR and they
don't mix. By good quality fittings as the junk that is made you-know-where
will last about long enough for you to drop it in the garbage can!
