This is an old revision of the document!
Typical unit has 1/4“ VCR fitting. Originally I was hoping to find one with Swagelok tube fittings until I understood these connectors better. Swagelok tbe fittings are easy to make but they have one major disadvantage over VCR: while getting a “as new” VCR connection is as simple as replacing a gasket, the entire Swagelok tube fitting (male?) assembly must be replaced. Thus, it would be a poor choice to put a swagelok tube fitting on any reusable, expensive equipment (ie MFCs), unless you have a very good reason.
