Allen Wrench size for 200BAR DIN valve yoke insert

[blacknet]

Hello,

I recently bought 2x E80's and they have the din/yoke inserts, my regulators are all DIN (wohoo!) to remove the insert I need an Allen wrench and it's larger than any I have. Anyone know what size I need? This looks to be the same size as the thermo valve insert as well.

Hello,

Thanks! Someone told me the allen size is not standardized and something like 3 different sizes. Am I right in thinking the thermo inserts takes the same size wrench as the pst E series?

Or if they don't, try this - I have a PST tank, and a Faber with a Thermo. They're identical. And they both use 8mm.

I'm pretty sure this is not accurate.

I was having a hard time finding a compact wrench the right size. One day I happened to notice small hex wrenches used for brake overhauls at the local car parts store and sure enough I brought in a donut and found a very compact one that fit.

My scubapro valves and sea elite valves both used a different size allen wrench to remove or install the insert

One is OMS, another is Thermo
