What size/type of threads are on a standard E or D size medical O2 tank. I am hoping they are the same as a standard 200 bar DIN valve. Thanks
 
Oxygen tanks have standard 750-16 UNF threads.

These threads are not compatible with anything except 750-16 UNF valves.

Scuba valves are most commonly 0.750-14 NPS or 0.875-16 UNF.

The exception being steel oxy tanks, which usually have a 1/2" ngt tapered threads. Old taper thread scuba valves will fit these, but DIN valves in this thread are, if they exist at all, obscenely rare.
