Now, the regulator has a CGA 350 connection, which seems to be standard and appropriate for deuterium (from table: http://www.sisweb.com/referenc/tools/cgafitt.htm). My problem is in the Sigma Aldrich product description, which says the deuterium bottle has a CGA 110/180 connection - I'm taking that to mean either a CGA 110 or 180 connection...
The recommended regulator has a CGA 180 inlet.Standard products are packaged in a 450 mL carbon steel lecture bottle with brass CGA 110/180 valve
That's all good except I can't find anything substantial documentation about CGA 110, or 180! Nothing mentioned here (http://www.concoa.com/cgachart.html), only thing I can find are drawings (http://www.asge-online.com/pdf/ASGEpg187.pdf), which don't provide any more info on the connections than what they look like. I can find a CGA 110 to 180 adaptor, but not much more, which is not helping me get to where I want.
I'm looking for a way to adapt from the deuterium bottle to the regulator, CGA 110/180 to CGA 350. I may be searching for the wrong thing, but I can't find an adaptor anywhere. If anyone has an idea of how to bridge the gap, please shout! Scott Moroch suggested that I may be able to completely remove the CGA 350 from the Victor regulator and replace it with a 110 or 180 fittings, but I'm not confident in that at the moment as I don't have a clue as to if that's safe, or will work and be feasible.
