High pressure hose for regulator

[njxrinzler]

Hopefully someone could help me. Little cramped on room fitting the 5lb co2 tank in my mini fridge kegerator build. The regulator attached directly on top of the tank makes it really tight and don't think it'll fit that way. Can I get a high pressure co2 hose and connect the co2 tank to the regulator using the hose? Would give me more options of placement within the fridge instead of being so awkwardly shaped connected directly to tank.

Here is the hose I found on eBay:

Looks like the bigger connector would go over the co2 tank, and I'll need some sort of adapter to connect other end of hose to the regulator? Anyone know what adapter I would need? Any help would be great, thanks. I've attached a picture of my regulator as well.

I assume ill need something like this adapter? Is this the right size?

You could keep the tank and regulator outside and run it through the side or back of the fridge.

This has disaster written all over it. Just leave the regulator attached and put the whole thing on the outside of the fridge. More room for beer!

If I cant get it all to fit inside, keeping outside will be last resort. Why does it have disaster written all over it? Thought the high pressure hoses were built for such things.

I'm no pro at this but I would think that with an adapter you could cause a weak link in your system, thus a possible disaster. Just a thought.

Thanks. I think Im going to get a different dual regulator from kegoutlet as well as this hose and have them attach for me. Sent them an email and they can do that no problem.

You could just pick up a 2 way co2 manifold and run a low pressure standard hose into your fridge. That way you keep the tank and your current reg outside the fridge.

@Bobby_M sells one including the hose for a very reasonable price:
