legris invented this type of fittingst. But there are thousands of other manufacturers produce fittings similar to this ones (i actually don't like the appearance of the speedfits very much). Only to give some names: Landefeld, Timmer, IQS, Legris, CPT Pneumatik etc.

I actually read a few sites on this topic, because i have only known pur/pun tubing for qick connects. Thats what is normally used in the industry, especially with smaller fittings.
Swiftech uses hardened PVC Tubes, which are different to those you can get in a simple hardwarestore. Thats only possible because of the very thick wand of this tubes, which is not the case with normal aquarium pvctubing!
I have some 14mm pushin connectors (from metal) here, so i know what im talking (can take some photos if you want) and tried to use it with 14*2 Rauclair E tubing from my hardware store and had a leakage after one day and the clamps inside the fittings didn't had enough grip to hold the tube.
I can believe that it could work with some stiffer tubing, but i know any other company than swiftech which uses pvc for quick connectors. Even the company John guest itself don't sell them with PVC tube. The rotating mechanism of the fittings is also a very nice feature preventing the hose to squeeze (and leak) because of rotational torque.

@BillA: I know you a little, and i have read many tests you have written, but I am heavily surprised, that you are a so impudently and unfriendly guy.
I know what a tubing insert ist for, and i bet that i had more different quick connectors in my hand in this live than you, sorry but you don't know my circumstances, so don't be rude.

I have no commercial Interests, if you look a little bit to the right you would have seen that i am from Hamburg and with a little intelligence you can easily guess, that i would be aware of shipping things for horrible costs to USA or anywere LOL
Second thing is, that makes your question really silly, that you can't change the fittings of the swiffie, because there is no Thread in the block. So why should i make some advertisement for really no reason?
Please don't flame at me fpr no reason, thats what children can make in their pleyground, but this is a serious Forum with substantive Diskussion, there is no space for flaming.
