Just got the fitting, and I can tell without even trying it that it's not going to work without some work. It's 2mm shorter, and that means that it's not going to engage the oring down in the inlet unless I plane 2mm off the inlet block, which I just might do. As-is, it's going to leak out the set screw hole just about no matter what. This fitting came with a crush ring to seal it on the other end of the threads, between the end of the inlet block, and the nut part of the fitting, which will leave the set screw leaking. I might solder a couple of washers on the end of it, to make it longer, but planing the inlet block is probably easier, and won't cause anything else not to seal, since the inlet block seal is down inside the hole. In fact, looking at the Drozd fittings I have around, they have 3 or 4mm of space between the threads and the rest of the fitting, so it wouldn't even cause it to engage less threads.
Update: Okay, I milled 2mm off the inlet block, and it works fine. That really wasn't a big deal to me, it's well enough within the limits of my tools and skill set, but it did take
some modding, and 5 or 10 minutes. You can see the advantage in the direction the hose goes, now. I like it now, it will suffice for my purposes.
