First of all,you need extension air hose for your hood,that hose is short.First,I suggest you cut the end of the hose with a hose cutter:
Wide range of Tube Cutters. 15.000 products in stock and same day shipment

You have 3 options for connecting your two hoses together.I assume that the hose size of your hood and your extension hose is 1/4 inch(6.3 mm ID and 13.5 mm OD),otherwise you should measure the inner and outside diameter size of the hose with a caliper.
(The size of the barbed side of the hose barb or hose barb plug/coupler depends on the inside diameter of the hose you want to use.)
Option 1:
1 double hose barb+2 hose clamps

To connect the extension hose to the outlet of your regulator:
The outlet of your regulator is CGA-032 (5/8-18) female.
So you need "male CGA-032 (5/8-18) to 1/4 NPT(male or female (the following example is 1/4 NPT male))" adapter:

No matter which option you choose to connect your hoses,you need 3 hose clamps,2 for your two hoses and 1 for other end of the extension hose and your hose barb and don't forget to use the teflon tape for all of your male threads,If you use the teflon tape correctly,It will guarantee a leak-free connection.
Remember that in the gas industry, teflon tape and hose clamps are your best friends.
You can also buy all of these from a local store or whatever website that you want,these links are just examples about what you must buy for your fittings.
