Just as a quick update
Priced the reg and the gas from a local supplier and it's amounting to nearly 300 quid

I think this is the first time I've actually hesitated on pulling the trigger on something for this hobby due to the costs.

Those creamy pints are calling me but how much stout would I be drinking along side the lager before it paid for itself yanno.

I habitually choose expensive hobbies and then complain when I have no money.
I have a mixed gas set-up which is great. I wouldn't be paying £300 for it though, that's for sure!
Forgive me if I missed it, but what's wrong with the regulator you posted here?
With a cylinder of mixed gas, you'll spend no more than £70 all in (potentially more like £150 if you have to "purchase" the cylinder - depends on supplier).

If you could share how you're getting 70 or 150 all in I'd be genuinely interested in where I'm going wrong in my market research here?

The purpose of this post was to find a suitable hose that had the appropriate fittings that could connect to that MK4 Mixed gas regulator and I couldn't get one.
I have a hose for my CO2 but the fittings don't match so I can't use it for the mixed gas
i would like to wall mount my regs
Bottle mounting the regs isn't a viable option in the space I have without risk for the gauges to get damaged or knocked out
So an alternative with a hose was required
The micromatic reg including VAT and shipping is 125
Just the gas and tank alone where I am is 130/140
I've called around a few local gas suppliers and without paying a daily rental charge that I'm not prepared to pay, then I need to put 100 upfront for the tank then 30/40 for the refills after.

Totaling 255/265 so far

Then an appropriate tap for the setup which I've looked about and am seeing online for about 30/40 do if I add another 10 on for shipping then call it a square 40

Puts me at around the 300 mark
