If you can get yourself an octopus regulator (comes with needle valve and solonoid) it fits an afrox one perfectly. I struggled to have my afrox one filled, so switched over to a modified fire extinguisher, and had to have my regulator modified. All that is required is to go to a place that fills/sells services co2 cylinders and scratch around untill you find a nut tht fits, worked for me.
I would recommend that you get a modified co2 cylinder, around R450 (2kg), much cheaper than a new regulator. Speak to Mervin at Atlas Fire services in Montague Gardens. There is someone on Masa filling botts for R20, had mine done other day.

Yip, and if you ask Mervin to go through their piles of nuts, you might find it lying around there somewhere. Saw no point in keeping it at the time. Still feel its a better option to diss both the Aqua H2O cylinder awa the afrox and get a fire extinguisher modified. From what I understand, only afrox can fill their cylinders. If you look inside the tap, you will see a triangle shaped thingy which prohibits filling by people servicing fire extinguishers.
