My Mine ball valve was 3/8"NPT The tank is 1/2"NPT I had a adapter that went from 1/2 to 3/8. Male to male. It is screwed into the tank.
I didn't know they had 1/2" or i would have gotten one.. Here is a 1/2"NPT that will screw into the tank.

And you can use these coolant snap on parts

I Just might make my order today. I will get it tomorrow.. mcmaster is fast. Day or Two.
