It *will* work in Acrylic though, so if you use 1/8" wall acrylic tubing 
you'll be able to do it. You have to go back and forth a lot and in very 
small amounts (1/4 turn in, 1/4 turn out, then 1/2 turn in, 1/4 turn out, 
etc...) and you'll still not get really clean threads with the finer pitch 
taps. 10/24 would be better if you had a choice and were just using a screw 
instead of a gas fitting. With PVC being softer than Acrylic you'd probably 
just "mush" the threads in and not cut them properly, but even like that if 
you used some sealant you'd probably be able to make it work.
