I purchased this nice looking Beringer park brake valve. When I got it home I noticed the installed nipples (the silver ones) are -3. I am using 1/4" tube with -4 fittings on the rest of the system. The question I have for you folks is can I run 1/8" tube from the park brake to the top of the gear legs and use 1/4" on the rest?

My opinion is yes. No problem. I might even be tempted to run -3 for the whole brake system.
