Now where can I buy these in Canada?

Yup that looks like to do the trick

I can't seem to find the male version of the meter coupling stub... So I'll just get the female stub and attach that to the inlet side of the meter and start blowing from there. Hopefully that won't make the meter spin too much! And yes I'm usually waaay to nice about doing other people's...
