This is somewhat racing related (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I bought a new air pump for my old compressor but have to build a new manifold and re-plumb my air connections.

Need some help.

I'm using two lines, one is 1/2 steel and the other 1/4 copper. I'm using compression fittings on both.

What tap size do I use on the 1/2" compression fitting to tap into my new manifold? On one side the compression fitting will be connected to the 1/2" pipe, the other side (minus the compression fitting) will be threaded into my new manifold. Both sides of the compression fitting are the same.

Likewise for the 1/4" compression fitting, i.e., what tap size?

Thanks.
