Trying to hook up a Std regulator (attached to a small nitrogen bottle) to
the input line on a "std" AC guage setup.

This is what I am working with. I've dug around for an adapter fitting.
Haven't found exactly what I think is it.

you sure thats a nitrogen regulator. First crack of the bottle and it will peg that outlet gauge. They look to be low .
Should be a 1/4" male pipe thead x 1/4" flare unless thats a odd ball regulator. Most refrigeration nitrogen regulators come with a 1/4 flare connector for the hose.

They make adapters from regulators to AC fittings but if you’re charging an AC system looking for leaks that regulator does not go high enough. Mastercool has a who set up for under $200 ready to go

Manufacturer (ESAB/OXWELD) claims it is for Nitrogen, but agree on pressure guage.
Was going to swap out guage (regulator body supposedly good for 500
PSI working, and it sold that way in other versions).

But spring in regulator may not allow enough pressure I guess, so maybe not worth
messing with this one. Just rarely do AC, mostly older stuff that was R12 and does not
have anything currently in it, so was trying to use what I have.
