Scubaboard,
I feel like an idiot. I finally purchased my first regulators. I admit I fell in love with the sleek aesthetic of the DIN valve first stage. I’ve used them before, no problem. But tonight, I went to set up my DGX Custom Dive Rite XT1/XT2 DIN package and when I screwed the first stage into the tank valve, air kept escaping violently from the time escape hole behind the threads on the tank valve.
The o-ring looks good to me. Brand new, and all. I re-threaded it several times to make sure I wasn’t screwing up the threading. What could be wrong?
I dropped a few photos below: (1) the male end of the DIN on the first stage, (2) the rig screwed together, and (3) the bastard hole that is hissing like a cobra.
Help.
