CO2 Solenoid Valve

[darthpaul]

I have bought a Dupla CO2 Mangnetventil

I was hoping to connect this to my Fluval 88 but the inlet on the Magnetventil is a M8 screw thread. The tubing for the 88 is 6mm so does anyone have any idea how I can convert the thread to a nipple?

The only way it to remove the threaded section and replace with a nipple like whats on the right hand side of the solenoid valve. I assume the problem area is the thread section on the left hand side of the solenoid valve.

Surely the L/H attaches straight to the needle valve aand the 6mm tubing connection is on the right?

 

[darthpaul]

Needle valves sits directly on top of the replaceable cannister with the Fluval 88

So I think Paul is right the only way to do it would be to replace the L/H threaded and put same as R/H nipple.Anyone know where I can buy one of these? Did a quick search earlier with no luck

Looks like I need a hosetail adapter?

Yeah it does look a bit of a minefield, still there is a contact number so it might be worth giving them a call.
