Default 3/16 Al tube to 1/4 poly tube??
I'm looking for a connector to go from the 3/16" aluminum lines on the Dynon pitot tube to 1/4" poly line to run through the wing to the fuselage, preferably compression fittings, and cannot find them. Can anyone point me the way to this item? It shouldn't be this difficult to find a simple reducing compression fitting online...

It takes two fittings to make the transition:
1. AN816-3D aluminum nipple, 3/16" flared aluminum tube to 1/8" male NPT
2. 266N-04X02 nylon ("nylo-seal") connector, 1/8" female NPT to 1/4" plastic tube (compression fitting)

Make sure to use thread sealant (teflon is recommended) on the NPT threads.

P.S. I'm wrapping up my Dynon pitot installation right now... I'll post some photos when I'm done.
