Im looking for a fitting where I can go from a metal vacuum line to a male
luer fitting so that I can attach a female leur needle, in order to evacuate
a septa crimped vial.  Or is it easier to use a thick needle and a 1/16 inch
swagelock and skip the leur?

Greg,

We use 1/4" Cajon fittings which are different from swagelok. They work to seal by compressing a rubber o-ring.  We put the o-ring over the luer lock needle and then the metal collar and the end nut.
