I think it's 1/2",just did my lines up top and that's what I used.
M12x1.5 is the actual thread size in the pump. You can get 3/8 or 1/2 inlet fittings but stock inlet is around 5/16 hose
1/2" NPT? My fittings aren't anywhere near that large.
Gotcha. That piece from parker is an "oring" fitting but you need to ditch the oring and put your washer off the stock fitting on it.
