Type of fittings/hardware for Co2 regulator

[hlmbrwng]

Hi everyone,

I just got 2 x 2.5 gal kegs and a 5 lb co2 tank. I was given a regulator, but I am not sure what type of connection it needs. The output diameter doesn't seem to be a size that I see online. Maybe I am reading the diameter wrong.

Please see attached photos.

I was hoping to use something like this, because the kegs are ball lock:

Think that will work? Or do I need an adapter?

Thanks!

1/4" MFL outside thread diameter is pretty close to 7/16", so I'd say that's what you're looking at, and that ready-made gas line should work fine.
Get a few of the nylon flare gaskets as well...

Cheers!

Thank you so much. Are those nylon washers for the connection between the regulator and the Co2 tank?

Because there is also this one:

Any idea what the difference is?

No, the 1/4" flare gasket goes inside the FFL swivel nut at the end of that hose before it is threaded onto the regulator fitting.

The cylinder coupler end of that regulator assembly requires either a fiber or nylon gasket to tuck inside the coupler nut before threading it onto the cylinder valve.

[edit] Yes, you found the other one. It's much larger and is flat while the 1/4" flare gasket has bevels and chamfers...
