I cant believe this is straight out of the box and it wont go more than a 1/16 of a turn, tried on two bottles same deal, don't tell me American thread is different to Aus thread its the standard gas bottles, fck this total BS, what size and type is the American gas fitting for the regulator?

Ok found out we have a type 30 nut and USA has something else, I've had to get a type 30 nut and stem and hope the 1/4 inch stem fits the regulator, a royal pain in the ass why can't things like this just be a standard, the world is full of dick heads got a different standard whenever you go.

Well the stem is not 1/4 its something like 1/2 inch so that ain't going to work either, its like throw the entire regulator in the bin fckn BS.

The last update had to buy another regulator, the titan is now useless, was lucky the controller I have can run on 240 volt and only need a travel adapter plug to go from it to the regulator.

Here’s their specs on the NG regulator.
“What is the pipe size and thread type for the NG regulator? The pipe size is 3/8 inch and the thread type is NPT (National Pipe Tapered).”

Guaranteed it’s not 1/2” threads. I actually have a real clue here. But go find the 1/4”-1/2” adapter and give it a go.

“Describes itself as having a G1/2 thread (1/2" BSPP). Very odd, UK CO2 cylinders are all W21.8 (a weird size, "W" stands for imperial Whitworth, IIRC it's 14 threads per inch, and 21.8 is metric millimetres).

It doesn't fit. Don't try and make it fit! CO2 cylinders are about 60BAR pressure (that is "quite a lot"). You can get adapters, but China is the most likely source which wont help if you want it tomorrow.

Australian Sodastream cylinders have G1/2 thread - but you didn't want to know that!”

You Aussies and Brits are weird eh? 1/2” is overkill but . .

“
What is G1 2 thread size?



1/2 inch

Two types of threads are used: Parallel (straight) threads, British Standard Pipe Parallel thread (BSPP). These are sometimes denoted by the letter G, for example G1/2" means a parallel 1/2 inch BSP thread.”

Thanks for the input, I put some Stilson's on the tube and a lot of pressure, I didn't want to put more pressure on it to get it out thinking Im going to break something here it didn't budge at all must have some sealant lock tight stuff on it, all I can say in the tube is exactly 1/2 inch outside diameter.
This was the model
Titan Controls HGC702710 CO2 Regulator


I just ordered another regulator with our standards comes Monday.

So you complain about lack of standardization and use the imperial system. The inch is defined to be 25,4 mm but instead of using this standard unit you define everything in inches that itself are defined as a fraction of the meter.

Makes sense

I don't really care what system is used I just would like everybody to have the same system., would make everything so much easier.

Go to a damned welding supply and get the right fittings.

They don't have solenoid activated regulators, I live in rural Australia everything needed for indoor growing must be ordered in from the internet and I mean everything, as a poster said our range of things available is a joke, I guess that's the price for wide open spaces clean air/water with only 25mill people in a landmass pretty close to the size of the USA, New York and LA has our whole population lol.

As much as I complain about things I cant get Ive been around the world and would not want to live in any other country, we have freedoms and space others can only dream about, although the major cities are going to the pits like the rest of the world.

A regulator for a CO2 bottle is not "grow equipment" to begin with and very easy to source the right standards in Australia. Should have just gone to Any hydro store, gas supplier, welding store, home brew store, hardware store, tool store or food industry supplier, hell even most hobby shops have a brewing section with co2 regulators and bottles available. .they would have all helped you with the Australian standards for regulators. Even over the phone.

And your not looking very hard if you can't find what you need at a hydro store to begin with in Aus lol. There's like 20 hydro stores within a twenty minute drive from my house that carry a complete line of regulators, gas, integrated control units for large operations and far more. They all sell full co2 kits, parts, full control units from inkbird, trolmaster, proleaf and far more environmental management systems...

All of them would have helped you with the standards you need and would have been happy to do so. I'm just lost as you type CO2 regulator into Google in Aus and there was literally tens of thousands of stores that sell regulators over like thirty different industries..

Co2 is one of the most widely used gasses in the processing and manufacturing industry, it should have been no issue to find a working co2 setup with appropriate standards in aus.

From your house lol, the nearest to my house is 300 miles, don't you guys read whats being said, I have to order in everything from media to nutrients to fittings, I got to drive 20 miles to get a loaf of bread lol.

The growing regulators have solenoid activators on them the brewing welding regulators don't, I had to order the gas bottles from BOC and waited a week for them.
