Default P/S Control Valve Fitting Sizes

I want to replace the rubber hoses with stainless steel ones but I don't know what size the fittings are to/from the pump to the control valve. Does anyone know?

The pump fitting is just 3/8 flare but the control valve fitting is much more odd. I think it's a 7/16-24 inverted flare. Very odd fitting and hard to make that pressure line.

Conventional Attachment - 5/8-18 UNF female thread and 45 degree brass flare seat.
Metric Attachment – M16x1.5 female thread with a o-ring port.
You must use the pressure hose assembly with the correct end configuration to fit the appropriate port.
