Well machined. Equal quality to "name brand" adapters. Another review mentioned it was a little sticky when they got it. I got the black one and mine was a bit sticky in spots too - guessing some remnant of the process to make it black.

DIN to Yoke Adapter

Bought two of these for traveling to areas that don't have removable inserts in tank valves. They're very well made and compact. Exactly what I wanted and half the price of other places. Nice addition to my sidemount kit.

Not much to say about a piece of metal, but it looks very nice, appears well made, and does what it needs to do. The price was about half what my other adapter cost, and this one looks cooler.

Exactly what it should be

I've had one of these for 4 years now. It does exactly what it's supposed to do - allows me to use my DIN regs on tanks with yoke valves. It adds a minimal amount to the "length" of the 1st stage, so the 1st stage sticks out away from the valve only a little more. All in all, I cannot fathom why some people pay $50 or more for other brands of DIN-to-Yoke adapter that do exactly the same job as this one.

Dust caps with DIN-to-Yoke adapters are not best practice

You should use a yoke dust cap with native yoke fitting first stages, but you do not need to use a dust cap with DIN-to-Yoke spin-on adapters. Although some adapters include them, you should NOT permanently leave a DIN-to-Yoke adapter in place and cap the adapter. Leaving the adapter permanently on the DIN fitting can eventually cause the DIN fitting to 'lock-in' to the yoke adapter, making it impossible to remove without damaging something.

Best practice for use of all DIN-to-Yoke adapters is to first mount and tighten the adapter to the tank K-valve, then attach the DIN regulator to the adapter. After your dive, first remove the DIN regulator from the adapter, place a dust cap the DIN fitting and then remove the adapter from the tank K-valve. Thus, by following best practice there is no need for yoke dust cap and our generic DIN-to-Yoke adapters don't include a cap. If you are new to DIN fittings on regulators, you might read our Uncoupling DIN Fittings from SCUBA Valves TekTip.

Regardless of Yoke or DIN, do not leave the dust cap attached to the fitting during the dive. Although convenient, unfortunately either the diver fails to dry it off when replacing thus trapping moisture in the regulator inlet, or worse, novices will dry the cap with a blast of compressed gas from the tank valve. The problem with that (as our service techs often complain) is the blast of gas will often blow moisture from the valve face or the attached cap right in to the first stage inlet. When the dust cap is not in use, store it in a dry place.
