K valve or a din any difference

[Wreck/Tec]

Contrary to what some here have said about filling a din valved tank with a yoke adapter THINK.......How do you screw ANYTHING into a yoke configuration? You may fill in the female port of the din valve with an adapter, which also serves as the mechanism to utilize yoke style 1st stages, and fill it that way. I look at this style air whip as a budget method. Most newer compressor lines have din male ends, and use a yoke adapter to fill yoke style valves. This dosn't ammount to squat as this conversation goes, but for the sake of clairity there you go....... I expressed my personal feeling about yoke valves earlier, thank you........

with Wreck/Tec on this. DIN is a far superior connection to yoke. I do not own any yoke type tanks and would only dive a yoke connection if nothing else were possible.

In my opinion, yoke connections are ok for shallow openwater diving conditions but not if you plan on doing anything even remotely aggressive as far as depth or environment.
