I took a different approach to this. I bought an automobile tire rubber valve stem and used an xacto knife to cut off the "mushroom" part of the base. The remaining part of the valve stem could then be easily inserted into a hose and clamped to seal it. The other end of the hose then gets clamped onto one of the manifold fittings.
