Air pack - trailer service brake line

In upgrading to the air pressure operated brake light switch I also reminded myself that I need to fix the cut off service line for the trailer connection. The air pack has a plastic (!) pipe plug in it right now.

I ran into difficulty trying to find the right fitting(s). The air brake copper line that runs up parallel to the air pack is cut a tad too short to allow me to just use some stock 90 degree elbow. I need to bridge the gap between the air line and the fitting.

I can't seem to find the right threads to thread into the air pack (they should be pipe thread, right?) and I can't find the right ferrule/compression setup to grab that large diameter air brake line (3/8 I think).

Does anybody have a suggestion for solutions, a description or pics of what the fittings should look like?
