    Air Line Change /Fittings

    So after thinking about moving up from 1/4 inch ID line and changing to 3/8ths ID am I still use the air fittings from the 1/4 or do I have to make another purchase? BTW, the high flow fittings that I purchased at Lowes are made of aluminum. I would rather have steel.
