Looking for cheap DIN 1st stage - Some IP creep is ok.

I'm looking for a cheap DIN first stage to set up for inflating my tires off my scuba tanks. Some IP creep is ok. I will never use this 1st stage for diving. I have my own regs for that.

It will only be hooked up as needed to reinflate my tires after off-roading.

why not just use a regular stage reg?

Drysuit / Deco Bottle First Stages
$60 for that, or $100 if you want an integrated valve which actually works well for deco bottle usage. Keep in mind that if there is nitrox in the tanks it can increase corrosion on the rim, and make sure you calculate the volume of air inside of the tires to make sure your bottle is big enough.

edit: the corrosion increase is basically negligible on alloys, but on steels it can take a year or two off the life of the wheels or shorten the time until you have to refinish them.

I've got a perfect one for you. Rock solid Scubapro MK5 with only 2 LP ports, so no one seems to want that design. I used it for drysuit inflation for years. Put your inflator hose in one port and there's an OPV in the other in case of IP creep. You can have it for $50 including shipping and PayPal.
