Looking at their website Swagelok.com shows the tube fittings to be OD.

The Swagelok fittings are sized for TUBING, which is sized by OD. If you have 5/8 OD tubing, you need a 1/2 NPT to 5/8 tube fitting.

SS-1010-2-8 elbow male to tube

SS-1010-8-8 elbow female to tube

SS-1010-1-8 Straight male to tube

SS-1010-7-8 Straight female to tube

Unfortunately, I don't see any with an easy Ebay search... One thing you can do is search "swagelok" on Ebay and sift through the many listings. It doesn't take long, and many people do not list the actual part number... good luck

I have a few Swagelok S/S fittings that I use they are 1/2 OD compression but if you look at the NPT side there is only a 3/8ths or smaller hole. Whats up with that?

ok thanks for the tips.
For the original poster, some brewers take a 1/2" female coupler and cut them in half, giving you two shorties, or you could just weld a full coupler more to the outside.
