DIN or YOKE??

[Walter]

Yokes work quite well at pressures well beyond 3000 PSI. I know they work up to 3800 PSI. A DIN connection, however, is much more secure. Usually HP tanks are filled with a yoke connection to a DIN adapter. There's nothing wrong with a yoke connection, but the DIN is better.

So if I were to get a tank with a DIN valve, it would need a YOKE adapter to get filled at a LDS or Club right?

Yeah, the adaptor is a little screw in insert that the yoke filler connects to so you can fill the tank. Most "decent" shops have the adaptor. If your shop doesn't, then you can buy one.

Most shops have had the adapters since the mid 80's. This is not a problem.
