Seems so simple that I must be stupid...

I have a GEO reactor and an M3 regulator. I can't seem to figure out how to connect the Co2 line from the reactor to the needle valve. Mine does not appear to have a barb fitting (although I thought it did). I have a feeling I'm missing some kind of part/adapter...

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Here's a pic of the regulator There is a nut that can be unscrewed... is this used to secure a barbed fitting?

You would slide the black co2 line through the nut and then place the open end of the line over the nipple. When you tighten the nut with will seal the line to the regulator.

Awesome! Thanks, I wasn’t sure if the was the correct way since I would really have to force the black tube through the nut. Thanks again for your help.
