Hal, That is exactly what the brass connector is for. The gauge end is 1/8" pipe thread while the other end is for a 1/8" tube ferrule and seal nut with a ferrule sealing surface machined inside the connector which has a center opening large enough so the 1/8" tube will fit through. Both of the gauges have the same 1/8" pipe threads on the back it is just the opening size on the back of the gauge unit that is different which is causing this to be a serviceable replacement gauge as noted by CaseIH. I obtained a small diameter tubing cutter this morning so I'm good to go on reducing the length of the tube beyond the ferrule to remove the interference with the back of the gauge unit which will then allow the ferrule to be sealed internally to the brass connector. It was certainly nice to have a couple like you and Jim involved in this issue so thanks again for your contribution, Hal.
