Pony bottle...fill question

[Birddog1911]

Picked up a 6cu pony bottle and reg yesterday. For the price, I couldn't pass it up.

The tank has a standard yoke valve. The question I have is, is there a yoke to yoke fill adapter out there, so I can fill it from one of my 80s?

I figure that this little tank will be suitable for shallow dives, instead of a 40cu tank.

A 6 is suitable for a drysuit inflation bottle, not much else. Have you calculated the max depth you can safely come up from with a 6?

No, I have never seen a yoke to yoke adapter. You'd have to make a whip for it.

what Frank said.

if you have two actual yoke collars/screws then cheap way is
two of these
Yoke Flane Nut to 1/4'' NPT
one of these
Male Nipple

That's a bit of a PITA though

Much better value for this one if you have a pair of spinon yoke adapters

If you don't, then
300 Bar Din to Yoke Adapter

Here we go again. Not going to comment re. 6cf. That dead horse has been beaten to a pulp.

You have never seen a yoke to yoke adapter????? Not very well informed. Yoke adapters are sold by almost every on-line dealer, though somewhat pricey. Tank to Tank Equalizer with Pressure Gauge

I guess I'd call that a whip. My DIN-yoke adapters or CGA540-CGA870 or CGA540 to 2 pin female are adapters.

I kept looking and found a yoke to yoke transfill whip for $65 new, don't know why it was at that price but it's been fine for me. I later bought a gauge and T so I could check the pressure without more steps.

Good luck
