Paasche D500 Pressure Regulator Question

I used to have an older Paasche D500 which I used with the brass colored air pressure regulator and Iwata airbrush. Unfortunately the compressor died. I recently purchased a new Paasche D500 compressor, the newer design with the carrying handle and on/off switch. While it works great, I found that the brass air pressure regulator from my old D500 is somehow not compatible with the new D500. The air pressure regulator and the compressor both have the same size male connections, not male/female. In other words it doesn't fit. Does anybody happen to know where I can purchase a compatible air pressure regulator for this compressor?
Here is a photo of my new compressor.

You can go to a place that sells compressors and look for an adaptor. Female/ female. That's what I did when I needed to extend some hose. I would suggest buying one that has a hex shaped center as that makes tightening much simpler.

I believe I found it. It's the Paasche D-305. http://www.kolinskyartbrushes.com/product.php?productid=16678&cat=0&page=33

The link you showed has a male to female valve... you need something that looks like this:

Doesn't have to be paasche brand. Just make sure that it is the same size. I believe that paasche is 1/8bsp IIRC.

The male end is for the air hose I believe, while the female end goes in to the compressor. I guess I will wait and see. :-D
