Alright bro heres the deal think about this 1/4 inch port or 1/2 inch port? if u had a 4/4 inch port you would have a 1 inch port so break it down. 1/4 is the smallest ports size next up is the 3/8 inch port witch is commonly used for your basic setup where your no lookin for max. pressure
then you have 1/2 inch port size witch is what i have all in all 4 corners, and is commonly used in competion, dancers,hopper, then you have 3/4 inch port size witch is for the hopper or dancer who demands more flow!!! witch is some what new to the game. hope this will help you! it all depends on what you want out of you ride bro!!!!

depending on the company and what they say is there norm.we use 3/8 and if wanted can make it 1/2 or 3/4 on the output.rick is right i should have said 3/8 not 1/2 as the norm.
