I figured out the answer to my question today:
The 1/2" OD tube that is the heat exchanger passes through a 1" NPT reducer to a 1/2" NPT. The 1/2" NPT is connected to a ferrel (spelling?) or swagelock (compression fitting) which compresses on the tube/heat exchanger to keep it in...
I found a solution, suppose I should have tried more before coming to this site.

THe design has been used many times before, there is some sort of coupling, NPT, bushing arrangement that allows it to work without leaking.
Good idea talking to the old farts lol.
