Yoke to din

[Floatingtheflats]

It is possible to permanently change a yoke regulator to a din? I know they make adapters to use but this still exposes the weak part of the yoke set up at the o ring while using a high pressure tank. I am looking to make my Zeagle yoke regular a din regular without buying a new one.

Yes, you need a din kit. Here's the one for Zeagle: Regulators - Din Adapters - Zeagle Din Adapter - Zeagle Din Adapter - Northeast Scuba Supply.

That's the best mod I ever made to my SP.

Great link; that is exactly what I was looking for. Is it a easy process to change it out? Does it require any special tools?

I don't know on the Zeagle. My Scubapro required a large pair of pliers and a couple of Allen wrenches. It was simple.

For the Zeagle, the change is very easy. You'll need two tools: a large wrench and an Allen key. Talk to your Zeagle dealer about exactly what sizes.

I changed mine and I've never looked back.

I cannot imagine why anyone would ever consider buying a yoke reg. Mine's DIN and I have a yoke adapter for it when I use AL80s. Simple as pie.

Just about all regulator models are identical whether DIN or yoke, and all one has to do is put the DIN conversion kit in it to make it a full-blown DIN reg. I would strongly advise that the user get the same brand kit from his/her reg's manufacturer; I've heard too many war stories about aftermarket kits not fitting the regs properly.

You lucked out too with the Zeagle, because their conversion kits are very reasonable. Some brands are double that for their conversion. The Zeages are easy to change, I think I used a large adjustable to get the yoke off, and the adjustable and allen keys to put the DIN back on.
