Jerry,

You have raised a good question.  If I had the time and a good supply of
Swagelok brand fittings, I would use a Swagelok bulkhead union with hosebarb
fittings.  I haven't been in the lab in years, but it would seem that some
on the list who are practicing lab scientists could tell us what might work.

John
