Ben, The Maxwell pilot suply line of 1/8 inch OD copper tubing can be purchased from McMaster Carr. Find 1/8 th inch copper tubing at <[www.mcmaster.com]; A compression ferrule and a matching compression nut is to be used at the Coleman vaporizer end, and I prefer to use a flare fitting at the other end of the 1/8th inch supply line. The compression nut has to be turned down 1/8 th of an inch on the end so that a complete compression of the ferrule can occur on the vaporizer end. The fittings can be purchase from McMaster Carr also.
