On my '48 P15 the bypass oil lines are 3/16" brake lines attached to brass adapters that have 1/8" NPT threads. Yes, the passages in the fittings are small but keep in mind this is a bypass system, not full flow so the volume of oil flowing through the fittings is relatively small. Here are details of a bypass system I installed on my P15:
