Hi all, got this dual body Taprite secondary regulator for a good deal on eBay, but never noticed the inlet (right side) was a hose barb, not the typical CO2 stem/nut that attaches to CO2 tanks.
I tried taking hose barb off so I could screw on a new stem/nut and then attach to my tank. Problem is the barb is not budging at all, no matter which way I turn it.
Any suggestions on how to connect this to my CO2 tank as is?
If not, any suggestions on how to get the stuck barb off without busting the whole thing? It's stuck to where metal chips are coming off the barb hex when I wrench on it....
