Thanks. I'll see if I can find a hose for it.

Oh and thank you all in advance!! Jim

Hi, I bought the regulator below and need some advice please. I'm going to move onto cornies soon for the first time and can't find anything about this particular type of regulator. Have I bought the wrong type of regulator? Do I need to buy a hose to go from the CO2 bottle to the female...

Right, I've reprimed with a dose of Tate and Lyle. I'll let you know how I get on! Thank you all.
