Does anyone have some experience with attaching the Red Sea solenoid to the Red Sea regulator? The instructions for the solenoid say to "Using a gripping tool remove the hose barb from the Regulator..." My concern is that if it does come out "anticlockwise" as the instructions say by using a gripping tool there is no going back and using that hose barb again because of the thread damage. I doubt I would be able to find one to buy. It sounds like I need to attach this solenoid to the regulator from the post I read about exploding CO2 tubing. Can anyone help assure me I am going down the right path on this?
