How to join M10 x 1 mm and 0.825"-14 NGO RH, and what stops it leaking.

Not a direct fit. Joining M10x1 CO2 cartridge thread to CGA-320 CO2 cylinder valve needs a M10x1 cartridge holder or adapter to a CGA-320 regulator.

The part to buy

An M10x1 cartridge is a fine metric thread that does not reach a CGA-320 regulator directly; an M10x1 holder or adapter pierces or seats the cartridge and presents a standard connection a CGA-320 regulator can use.

Confirm the cartridge is genuinely M10x1 before buying, because it is easy to mistake for a soda cylinder or another small thread. The adapter is the only path to a regulator; a plain thread mismatch will not seal under CO2 pressure.
