I feel like an idiot

Your din fitting is incompatible with your valve

Enlarge the indent inside the back of the valve

I am sorry, but you suggest to fiddle/manipulate the valve of the tank?

You should never ever do this!

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.

There is too much BS here.

Can't you take the set to a qualified service center who know what they are doing to take care of things and help you understand how to use it??
