I'm retrofitting the controls in a big chiller (for an ice rink) and I
need to add pressure transducers along with the existing gauges. The
gauges have 1/4" male flare connections. The transducers are 1/4" male

gauge and accept the existing flared tube and the transducer.

While I'm dreaming, it would be good if it didn't project far behind the
gauge.

I have looked at grainger and mcmaster, and come away more confused than I
went in. Surely I cant be the first person to do this.

I'm not a refrigeration guy, though I'm working with one. I won't be able
to reach him for a week, and I'm trying to get a jump on this.

Your suggestions are welcome.

If there's a refrigeration supplier in your area, they have stock of all
sorts of special fittings for this. The trick is plumbing is measured from
the effective ID of the pipe, refrigeration is measured by the real OD of
the tube.
