Man, you hit the center of the target.
Home Depot and Lowe's does carry exactly what your speaking of - usually in conjunction with one of those tiny lines running off water heaters and such for their thermostat mechanisms.
Fortunately, when I was talking with one of the guys in the shop at second break - he thought he had one in a small tin in his tool box:
The fitting is hex stock, about 3/4" long - 1/8" NPT on one end and straight thread (compression) on the other - with about a .080 diameter hole down the center, and we were able to grub up
ONE crimping sleeve.
I deburred the one end of the sample (4" long) piece and it just slides over the outside of the tube - as does the compression nut. With a short little riser pipe to come from the block hole, a coupler and this trick little fitting - I think my last start up excuse just evaporated.
Thank you.
Mac.
