It's a DIN fill whip, the fitting on the right is probably a 1/4" npt female thread to attach to the bank.

i know it's a din... but the part without thread is a lot longuer than a standard one

 

[marc.collin]

big difference between both

It is a 300 bar only din fitting. You are probably used to seeing 200/300 bar fittings.

It is that goofy 300 BAR European style...

cut it off oops did I say that

 

[marc.collin]

even when cutting, I don't believe there will be enough thread to screw in securely

I would obviously never recommend anybody modify a fitting, but yes, it would work perfectly if the nipple is cut off.

Understood that the longer thinner nipple was there to ensure that a 300BAR fill whip could only be connected to a 300BAR valve/cylinder. And not fit in a 232BAR cylinder valve. Guess they don’t want the potential to have 232BAR cylinders filled to 300BAR? There are threads on here that explain it far better than me. For example:-

200 BAR DIN vs 300 BAR DIN

Can someone tell me the difference. The instructor that I spoke to for my tech class is telling me I cant use my DIN 1ST stage because its 200 BAR.
