Thanks guys! I bought my pump from Mancini, and their site does not give all the info that the Summit site does. The directions that came with the pump specifically say not to use teflon tape, it will break the fitting. I guess it is too slick and results in over torque? Anywho, I can now order my 1/4 npt fittings with 5/16" barb.



They are a nice pump, I just put one in my dart. Do not use teflon tape. I think the threads are NPTF on the pump side. Tape will crack the housing. You can get the fittings pretty much any hardware store if you want brass. If you want cool blue anodized PM me and I'll send you some.
