    Received my new solenoid purchased through ebay. Found that the fittings not compatible with my original regulator. Tried sourcing for the fittings in various hardware stores but no luck. Would appreciate any suggestion as to where this fitting is available. Refer to attached image. Need both end of the threads to be similar. The one in the pic shows one larger than the other.Attachment 36534

    Not sure no indication. Outside diameter is 10mm on one end and 6mm on the other end if that is of any help.

    you can try checking around kelantan lane; near sim lim.
    one of the shops under hdb blocks (blk 28-30) sells such fittings.
    don't recall the exact location nor the name of the shop.

    Kelantan lane shops closed on weekends. Tried NA also no luck. Out of desperation make do with temporary connection. Tubing as a bridge between different sized fitting. Hope it does not burst under pressure. Buying time to look for proper fitting. Thanks for the support.
