Don't know if they're the same as mine, I have Isspro gauges, but I am using 1/4" plastic tubing like you would use to feed an icemaker in a refrigerator. I just had to do a repair, too, and found everything I needed at an Ace Hardware store. It was about $2 for enough stuff to do two ends. It includes the nut, compression sleeve, and the piece that goes inside the hose so it won't be crushed when you tighten the compression nut. I bet Lowes has them, just maybe not where you might think to look for it.

Yeah, the Automitter uses the 1/8" brass fittings...any hardware or plumbing store should have them...also anywhere that services gas heaters, stoves water heaters...

Ive never found a Lowes or Home depot that carries 1/8 compression fittings. I had to goto my local farm supply store(Agri) to get them. May have better luck at Napa.

I havent tried napa, it was kinda of alate night thing, but i went to home depot and they didnt ahve then, then i went to the local sears hardware and they didn't have them. But i will try nappa later, i kinda like letting the truck sit in the garage during the week, saves money on duel and keeps the miles low, and from the snow it keeps that salt off.
