I'm looking into how to make something that will connect to the valve and adapt to pipe or AN threads. Aeroquip makes a braze on fitting that goes from tube to #6 AN that looks like it may play. My other thought would to take the valve apart and cut threads in the ports for a fitting. Gotta love redesigning MTD stuff.
