DIN to Yoke Adapter?

[DoubleAA]

I have a HOG DIN->Yoke adapter that works well. I also carry a three way hex key on trips so I can pop the inserts out of rental tanks if I don't have my tanks with me. If they aren't convertible valves I use the converter.

I'm still curious what broke on the DGX adapter. That's very surprising....

The issue is that it wasn't machined as a single piece, rather in 2, to save money. The yoke part is threaded into the DIN part with no set screw or other mechanical stop. So when you go to unscrew the adapter from the DIN 1st stage, the yoke portion unscrews instead of the entire adapter.

no kidding, that's an idiotic design. I've never seen one that wasn't one piece... That said, all but one of mine are ancient Poseidons that are milled in one piece....

I think they had attempted to red locktite it, but it failed on the first installation, if that says anything.

I have a HOG one I don't use if you pay shipping you can have it. PM me if you want.

Scratch that, my good deed for the day, if you want it I'll ship FOC call it a birthday present. What goes around and all that...
