Well it's been an education!
First finding out how to identify if the Swagelok fitting is Metric by
sight and now how carefully the tubing has to be made to use compression
fittings!
I just went ahead and got the short section from McMaster Carr.
Want to make sure it's right if I'm at 400+ PSI with Hydrogen for years
at a time!!!
Cheers,

Corby
