Blue steel din valve

[Firemedic0822]

DGX or Thermo insert on blue steel valve is my guess. If you can’t find a Blue Steel insert this weekend, I’ll ship you one Monday

The bluesteel insert is shorter? I have tried two different inserts and both dont fit.

By a hair iirc. I think every stock blue steel ones I’ve ever seen have green o-rings.

Thats all it needs is a hair. The one i have is def a thermo and the other is from amazon. Both are a hair too long. I can get the reg on without the insert but that does no good lol

I looked up the specifications on the valve and it is a convertible valve. I would try a different insert.

Ive tried two different inserts so far. Neither worked.

Here are three examples:

IIRC, that is a Blue Steel on the right....

it is shorter than the adjacent one by a very slight amount.

Note also the slight difference in the crown....

My Blue Steel valves came with the green o-rings on the plugs.

Yes. That taper on the blue steel will allow the first stage to slide into place.
