On mine I split the fuel line to feed both rails and put the fuel pressure sensor at the same time. You can tee it into the line without splitting it. Same idea.

Although many have no issue with that type of fitting I personally will never use one again. Just bad luck I guess, but good luck it turned out ok.

Wasn't the exact same fitting but did use that plastic clip. ( whatever they call it )

In this thread you can see what happened, and with what I replaced it.

hey bro what exact part can I replace the russel 640730 fitting with that will work? will that swedgelok work on my fuel line? do I need this as well-Russell 644003 I'm really useless when It's comes to fuel line fittings, But I don't want no gas leak. All I'm trying to do is install a fuel pressure gauge. nothing fancy.

The Swagelok will work but I really don't know the part numbers of what else you would need. The part you posted makes it very simple, I just cant trust them after what happened to me. I changed the line completely from the firewall to feed the 2 rails at the back, so adding in a tee for the pressure sensor was easy to do.
Sorry I cant help more on that.
