Default Carbonator for Pin-Lock connection?

I'd like to buy a Carbonator cap, but after looking at pictures of it - it doesn't seem like it's possible.

Has anyone used a Carbonator cap with pin-lock fittings?

Why not just get a ball lock grey gas QD and swap it out when you want to use your carbonator cap? That'll set you back an extra 5 bucks or so.

I also wanted to clean my beer lines (which are pin-lock fittings) from a 2L Soda Bottle using the carbonator/BLC, instead of filling up an entire keg with BLC. Hmm...
