Has anyone tried using something like this:
http://www.divesports.com/ScubaMax-300-Bar-DIN-Air-Fill-Adapter-p/scmx-at-09.htm
to use regular yoke 1st stages on a tank that had a 300 bar DIN valve
on it? Of course, we're assuming that the tank is not filled past the
max pressure for a yoke clamp...
I know it puts the 1st stage at a different angle, but depending upon
the 1st stage that you have, that actually might work out better than
the hose layout that some of them provide... |

I was just thinking that from a perspective of eventually going with
300 bar DIN compatible regulators, this would allow one to use their
existing regulators with those tanks as long as you kept the pressure
down to normal.
With regards to failure points, one could say that one adds failure
points by going with a modular valve since there are two O-rings on
each side, right?
Grace's oldest sister's husband is in the process of buying a sailboat
that is in Tortola, BVI... If he decides to sail it back himself, I'm
probably going to fly down there and give him a hand... About 2200
miles, so probably about 2 weeks for the return trip... Of course,
I'll take at least one tank and a bit of dive gear with me... Besides
the fact of sailing through a lot of water that has a lot of reefs
worth diving, there's always the chance that I might need to go over
the side to work on something. My experience down in Florida was such
that I now have quite the distaste for poly crab trap ropes... When
they get wrapped around the shaft, they are a pain to get off... |

Just get a modular valve (reducing failure points should be natural to a
pilot);

Depending upon the valve you have now, you may simply need the insert. |

Indeed I took advantage of such a layout to have my Espadon two-hose
reg, which is yoke, at a convenient position close to the twin
bottles, and low, as much as possible. It does not matter here that it
was not a 300bar type. I went from 200bar DIN in the manifold center
(turned pointing downward) to the "cube adaptor" (which you showed
here) to the reg's yoke. Quick and dirty. I always hammer my fist
against the sides of the yoke types, when pressurized, to make sure
they do not leak. Never had a problem.

I see your point. But, all of my regulators (all 6) are DIN as are
all my tanks, including my argon reg and tank. Why not just convert
to DIN? |

I ahve something similar to that but did not get it for diving. I got it
to adapt a DIN to Yoke so I could check tank pressure (all I had was a
yoke gauge). I have since gotten a DIN gauge so really don't use the
adapter anymore.
