Is the following correct?

K is the valve body to include the on/off assembly.

Yoke and DIN are the connections. Or on the PRO models either DIN or Yoke depending on whether the insert is removed.

DIN can be either 200 BAR or 300 BAR

For all of you so concerned with semantics, stay out of the South or get a redneck/English dictionary. As example, "european" is what is going on at a urinal. And just as the Flintstones suggested, have a gay old time.

Thank you for your salient contribution.

If semantics are so important, one should note that it is not a "yoke valve", rather it is a yoke style first stage that the valve is designed to have attached.

Anyone wrapped around the axles about any of the verbiage discussed in this thread, including the OP, needs to dive more and worry less.

Is the following correct?

....

DIN can be either 200 BAR (2900.+ psi) or 300 BAR (4351.+ psi)

"200" and "300" bar are not pressure ratings. They are common shorthand for referring to 2 different length DIN connectors. If you want a valve rated for Nitrox or want compatibility with both 200 and 300 bar DIN regulators, then you need a 200 bar DIN valve.

There's also a 3rd DIN standard commonly called M26 or M26x2 (@OMyMyOHellYes will explain why that's wrong and give us the correct name) which is only used in parts of Europe and is not compatible with anything else. It was introduced in a misguided attempt to separate air and Nitrox equipment.
