Overtightened it and it broke on me so I need to know exactly what size it is before finding out where to buy. It's for the co2 regulator. Any ideas? 2 cent coin beside it for reference

Delzep is it directly on the reg or attached to one of the gas hoses coming off the reg so i can check mine ? Chances are i have what you need foc anyway. ;D

I have a 3 way valve (hook up 3 cornies to the reg) and this is one of the output connections to the keg

So it screws directly onto one of the brass outputs coming off the regulator ? ;D Reason i ask is it looks like a normal gas line JG from here. :-[

Is it the same sie as the JG fitting that screws onto the corny disconnect by any chance ? ;D

If you look closely at the tubing end, the collar often has the part number embossed into it.

The bit that's broken of is a female thread?

Try to read any numbers on the collar and what's the diameter of the male thread?

Never spotted that...nice one Will

It says "P NSF.51 36 SK266.001 3/8""

I found a spare anyway, but would be handy to know the part number for future inevitable breakages. The spare has "P NSF.51 46 SK266.001 3/8"" but looks identical

I have a few of "P NSF.51 43 SK266.001 3/8" here maybe they are suitable Delzep ?  ;D
