I have a Garmin Heated pitot tube and at the panel, the Garmin GAP26. I've ran pitot, static and AOA lines up to the panel mounted GAP 26. Where can I find the compression type fittings that I push and secure the lines within and then screw that into the back of the GAP 26?
 
Something like this maybe? Stein has a bunch of different types of pitot line connectors.

Does that fitting require that you flare the aluminum tubing?
Yes. I know there are push-on fittings for nylon tubing. I'm not aware of any for aluminum tubing. But, that doesn't mean much as everything to do with building airplanes is new to me.
