1/8" NPT is one of the few taps that Lowe's and Home Depot carry and cost about seven bucks.

make sure you use the right bit with the tap, the package should tell you if not google it and you should find a chart that lists the right bit.

Whoops.... you definitely said microline. 1/8 NPT is for macroline fittings. So I totally told you the wrong thing. (But... one look at the tap and you would have figured that out. It's twice the size of a micro fitting.)

For microline fittings, you want a 10-32 machine tap. Like this.
