    I've done a bit of looking around and haven't found what I'm looking for. I've seen the mini regulators on the homebrew sites that fit the cartridges directly but those are over $100!

    I'd like to be able to use the easier to buy mini regulators but they have 1/4 NPT fittings. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Also a seperate question: When these mini regulators are turned down to zero, how fast would/should they leak out the co2?

    Thanks all!

    You are stuck on NPT vs. MPT...
    NPT is national pipe thread and could be male or female.
    MPT is male pipe thread, and is the same thing as NPT, but is specifically a male tapered pipe thread.
    They are both basically the same thing. If it comes as a female (probably) then the hose, tube, or pipe that you use will need to match.

    Please ignore my prior post, I am wrong.

    Received my fitting today and the tire valve dimension is too small.

    The search continues . . . . .
