Pipes are measured on a goofy scale, they're by ID and then there's different schedules which is the thickness of the pipe wall. If you're dealing with NPT fittings and whatnot, then the holes are going to look a lot bigger than the pipe size that fits them. 1/8" NPT fittings are probably about 1/4" to 3/8" in diameter. Its all a game, then you have to translate that in the AN stuff for lines. -4 AN is probably the closest equivelant to 1/8 pipe. You could also use -3, but the -4 is bigger and I'd use that.
