Heres the regulator mod for the blackstone. Its all ready for the mh quick disconnect.
I ordered a new regulator from blackstone. $10 with shipping included. Not a bad price.
Its a little difficult but you have to remove the regulator from the pipe assembly. Back off the holding nut then unscrew the regulator. I had to put it in my vise then wrench the fittings off.
The threads on the pipe are 5/16 with 24 thread.
I bought a female 5/16-24 to male 1/8" coupler
Trico FA-1007 Brass Central Lubrication Straight Adapter, 5/16"-24 Female x 1/8" NPT Male

Also from amazon a female 1/8 to 3/8 flared male coupler
Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 3/8" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe

Yellow pipe tape and screw everything together.
I already had a 12 ft hose with the 3/8 female flared end
So about $25 to retrofit this to the mod
