Which demand valve to buy?

The barb fitting has an output of 25 LPM. The DISS will be more like 60 on these cheaper ones, more than enough for our uses.

The regilator arrived,
doesn’t fit to the bottle 

How can I possibly know what fitting i need.. this is really getting hopeless.

This is a problem I've been wanting to address. Different countries have different connections and it's hard for someone in the US to say exactly what you might need. I have the vision of putting together a guide for different areas of the world. I guess I should get started.......

Let's start with you posting a couple of pics of the tank and regulator fittings you are working with in Belgium and we will go from there. 

No such thing as hopeless.....difficult maybe.....not hopeless.

I have a valve with one barbed outlet and one threaded..
the inside looks as if CGA540 would fit.
It has (what i think is) a push pin in the middle.
The thread doesn’t fit the CGA540 thread, which I believe is G5/8. It has to be close though.

Here you can see all specs I can find on the valve. I cannot find anything close on google with that info

 

and the inside

"AFNOR" is the standard of the connection as best I can tell. It looks like from the pics that the valve is considered part of the tank as in the UK and not swapped from tank to tank as needed as we do in the US. Am I correct or am I just looking at it wrong?

exactly, the valve is fixed on the tank.

the 1st outlet however should provide the full 200bar, as noted on the valve ‘P1:200bar’
