Default FNTP - FIP adapter?

Does an adapter exist that goes from 1/4 FNTP (Pressure Regulator) to 3/8
compression type fitting (small end of faucet hose).

yes, and easy to find too.

small bit of education FNPT is female NPT, so you need a male NPT to
tube compression adapter. http://mcmaster.com sells them fairly cheap,
or you can find you local industrial fluid power company and get it
from them. grainger probably has it as well, but I havn't looked.

Thanks to Empress2 who suggested Mcmaster Carr, they had the very part.
Sadly, they don't ship to Canada anymore. The Home Depot solution is 1/2 X
3/8 FE Comp To Male, 3/8 X 1/4 MIP To FIP and finally 1/4 X 1 1/2 Brass
Pipe. Any bright ideas for a short cut? I don't like the added potential for
leaks. Is Pipe Dope Food/Fish safe? I would imagine it is.

TIA.

What would give you that idea? From using it on potable water lines?
