The aluminum is hard enough and strong enough to thread easily with 1/ 4" NPT no problem. I used four wraps of teflon tape to seal the threads and tested the connections with soapy water to make sure there were no leaks. You can't expect a 1/4" hose to be able to handle a lot of airflow. (6.35mm) slightly more down, to about 4mm. This applies to all barbed hose connections.
