Here is a good site that explains Yoke vs. DIN valve regulators.
Hope this helps.

Great article & illustrations.

And people wonder why I rave about this board?

If those who know share.... More can share to those who don't.

All I can say is that I hope the US take up DIN better than they did the metric system!

I am hoping they do. I am buying a din reg. I checked and have local access to DIN tanks, My thought is that over time they will become more accesssable, But I do nto expect it to happen fast and I would be suprised to see that anything less then 10 years would see even a 50/50 mix of gear. Simply becuase there is some much yoke equipment out there.

Agreed -- I am happily surprised at the number of convertible DIN-Yoke tanks available for rent.

and the article was written two years before that according to the copywright (2000). Ah the slow season is upon us.... lets see what else can be dug up....
