Re: co2 Fittings
Hi and welcome.
Most primary regulators have an output that takes the fitting you linked to. Unscrewing the original fitting can be quite interesting but is possible using a suitable spanner (or mole grips.....). Alternatively bodge the tube onto whatever you have (can't tell from the pic) and use a hoseclip. The JG fitting just makes it more convenient to remove the pipe - which is something you hardly ever need to do.
