I believe the fitting is called "SAE O-Ring" If you have access to Aeroquip
or Swagelock or any other industrial supplier you can get the 7/16 and
larger sizes pretty easily. I have been unable to find any industrial
supplier with the 3/8 size however.  Have to buy that 7/16 to 3/8 adaptor
from your local dive shop.  

Aeroquip is industrial/hydraulic/etc fittings, hoses, etc. Try your local
industrial park or an area with a lot of trucking and truck repair shops.
Swagelock and their competitors seem to handle industryl, labs, anybody else
who works with tubing.
