Proportioning Valve Outlet Fitting

[Father&son56project]

A possibly dumb question here, but here it goes: I’m putting in a disc/disc brake system and I need to know which fitting to use at the outlet (to the rear brakes) of the PV4 universal GM style proportioning valve. I plan to run 3/16 line out to the rear. The product info from MBM Brakes for the valve tells me that the outlet is a 9/16-18 fitting, but says nothing about line size. I can order a “9/16-18 Inverted Flare Nut; Line Size: 3/16" like this from Rockauto:

Or I can get the “Proportioning Valve Adapter Fitting Kit - Set of 3” from CPP like this:

Are the fittings from both places in fact the exact same thing (other than getting 2 unneeded ones in the kit)? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but all my searching has turned up conflicting info and I have zero knowledge where fittings are concerned. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

search for 9/16-18 (thread size) and then sort by tube size. Tube nuts are made in various configuration.

The link to rock auto seems to be the one you want.

Thanks Willie Makeit! I (erroneously) assumed that the outlet port in the proportioning valve was meant for a specific line size. This frees me up to get one of those inexpensive 9/16-18 fittings and hopefully start making some progress in the shop.

Why 3/16"? Most trucks use 1/4" to the rear drums. discs might need even more fluid.

Al, I did a ton of searching online, and the info was all over the map regarding 3/16 vs 1/4 rear line sizes. In the end I picked 3/16 as I will be running an Explorer disc rear end. The engineers at Ford picked 3/16 line for the entire rear system, so I figured I'd go with what they picked.
