You missed the entire part of location, I couldn't hit a reef shop or hydro store with a missile lol. I bought the set up I did because it was less than half price than any available in Aus, even with the fck up of the regulator and having to buy another replacement to Aus standards I came out way in front with the controller which cost me $120 instead of $700 they want in Aus for them, which will work no problems with a $10 travel adapter plug.
I just put it down to experience lol, I have a friend who can cut the tube stem and brase another onto it that fits our bottles, I,ll just use it as spare.

I made no assumptions you were metro. You don't have to be face to face to ask what thread standard our gas fittings use.
Then why tell me the shops are on every corner as an answer to me buying the wrong one online I said right at the start Im rural and cant easily get anything there is no shop on any corner for me, it was me that assumed the fittings to the gas bottle would be the same that was my fault and it cost me another regulator purchase, I'm still happy as overall I still got the whole setup way cheaper than buying it in Aus, I was more frustrated than anything else as I was ready to go and the last thing I had to do was screw the regulator onto the bottle, and here we are lol.
Nah it's a different thread cut they go the same way, the size looks the same, I live and learn.
