what size thread for pub gas bottle
I've run out of gas in my welder but have been given 2 half full pub gas bottles. What size thread is on the bottle (it looks like 22m or 7/8”)
and on the small bottle that comes with the welder so I can buy an adapter or new regulator?

This place has adaptors at a reasonable price - but a CO2 regulator is only a few Pounds more, so might be
a better option.

I took mine to the local industrial welding supplies place on a saturday morning. Smiled and said, "obviously i don't have this bottle,
but if i did, what would i need to connect it to this regulator".
I then gave them some beer tokens, they gave me an adapter (And i think a warning about left hand thread).
