they do fittings at climate ctr- look through for 1/8 bsp to 1/4sae brass fitting-dont forget the ptfe or threadlock - climate ctr do nitro gauges with the 1/4 sae connection already fitted- dont get a 10 bar gauge -go for the 50 bar

I recommend that anyone working in a mechanical trade obtain a copy of Machinery's Handbook. Everything you need to know about fasteners, thread standards, tubing and pipe sizes, wire and sheet metal gages, strength of materials, gear dimensions, and on and on is found in this one volume.
