    The posts can be changed-out as well to convert one to the other but the thread pattern can be different.
    Of the three pin-locks I converted two were 19/32" x 18 and one was 9/16" x 18. The oddball was the Firestone.

    I have one just like this...

    Spend the extra $15 bucks for dual pressure. Might not need it now but if you plan to keg it will be a life saver. I have the first regulator set to 40psi for purging kegs and seating the lid. The second I have set at 2-3psi for pushing beer from the fermenter to the keg. I can turn it up or down for purging hops, etc. If for some reason your dip tube gets clogged and you have to fill the keg through the lid you can keep the first valve on 3-5psi to maintain a blanket while still using the second to push. Same for a bottling bucket, one to push out of the fermenter, the other to keep a CO2 blanket in the bucket going as it fills. Also a lot easier to just keep a QD on the first one and a barb or nothing on the second line that removing the QD and putting it back on everytime you want to just have free flowing CO2.
