Unless it's 1/2" or 3/4" Al hard line. It's very easy to use brass
compression fittings with a little Noalox to make adapters to UHF fittings.
I believe I have both N-type and UHF, crimp fittings to fit the smaller
cables (RG6, etc) that fit the same cables that Snap'N Seal connectors
fit, but they don't require different connectors for quad shield. The
difficult part about using those connectors is the Al braid over foil is
very fragile

Another limitation of CATV coax is that only CATV crimp connectors
work, and the only ones that are widely available to fit it are
F-connectors or BNCs. I find the Snap'N Seal branded connectors to be
quite good, but they 1) must physically match the cable dimensions; 2)
stripping and crimp tools that match the coax must be used for a good
connection; and 3) F-connectors require adapters to connect to our
antennas, and most F-connector adapters I've seen are of highly
questionable quality.
