Be careful with the Swag item as I don't think they have gone through the passivation process. That's probably why ISC went with the QC4 they currently provide.

Ok guys, the history is originally we used Swagelock, Scott is correct that they did not passivate the knob so there were issues with discoloration. Swage did not want to passivate so we switched to Hylock. These worked well but they were not able to deliver the parts (5 month backlog!!) we recently developed our own passivation process and switched back to swagelock. The parts that Tibby is having issues with are Hylock.
