The Propex inlet is BSPT, not metric. Fittings can be found here:
http://shop.hoseandfittings.com/catalog/Fitting/Brass/Pipe_-_British.html
and
http://mcmaster.com

Of course, there is no need for any of these unless you are installing in
such a way that a different fitting is required. I always keep extras of the
stock Propex fittings here, in 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" tubing sizes.

The exhaust pipe is the unpainted, stainless steel pipe.
