DIN w/Yoke insert for a Faber 120 3180?

[resnick]

I've got a Faber 120 tank which currently has a DIN valve in it. The assorted scribblings on the tank are as follows:

SCC/120 FABER MADE IN ITALY M8308 01/1246/ 019 TC-3AAM-244/DOT-3AA 3180 REE 77

The original hydro was 06◊01+. The current hydro is 2(A2/73)08. (The guy who did the hydro forgot to do the "+" level hydro. :doh: )

I don't know offhand what sort of threads are on this thing.

I'd like to put a DIN valve on this thing which has a yoke insert. (My main reg is a DIN reg, but I've got an old yoke reg I use for training purposes that I'd like to put on this tank occasionally.) Does such a valve exist that will work on this tank?

yes, any standard 200bar "pro" valve, like the Thermos, will work. It's a standard thread on the neck.

As said above, a 3/4" thread 200 "pro" or convertible valve will do the job. Thermo or Blue Steel are the ones that come to mind along with Dive-RIte or OMS.

I notice that the OMS V103 claims to have a burst disk service pressure of 3500. Given that the tank is (potentially) 3180 + 10% = 3498, that seems like a good thing. Do any of these other valves have 3500 service pressure ratings?

You can change the burst disk in any valve. The Thermos for example can be had with a 2250, 2400, 3000, 3180 (the correct one for that tank), 3300, and 3500.
