Running 1/2" line to 3/8" Valve - advise please

I picked up 8 SMC 3/8" valves and 50' of 1/2" DOT line. I read up on this before buying and many folks here said - "go for it, it'll work no problem" - yet I can find no tech article or pictures of how people have done it?

Question I have is: what is the best way to get the 1/2" line into the 3/8" valve opening. Is there a fitting on the market to do this?

Please be kind in your replies...Pix are helpful, if you have em.

Thanks in advance...

would just look like this,



with the male threaded end 3/8" NPT, and the compression end 1/2".

hit me up if you need any of those, or any other DOT approved compressions, or pipe fittings.. i'd be glad to help out.
