What is the best way to attach a pressure gauge (1/4) to the end of a 3/16 tubing line (in terms of fittings)? Thanks.

I used a 1/4 female air chuck fitting from Home Depot that was $1.58, Teflon tapped the gauge threads tightened it up, then I dunked the end of my linein hot water in my thermos and pushed it in, snob fit and no leaks. Have 25 lbs of vac on the line. If I could of found 3/16 pipe barb to 1/4 female I would of pre feed that though!
