DGX Premium Valves are Nitrox Ready, using oxygen compatible materials and when sealed in the original factory packaging is also free of organic and particle contamination. The valves have DIN outlets that can accept optional removable inserts (sold separately) so the valves may be used with yoke connectors. You may see this style of outlet variously described as Pro, 200-Bar DIN (G 5/8 BSP), or 232-Bar DIN. All these different names apply to exactly the same style valve outlet, which is suitable for use with the 3442 psi service pressure cylinders and any DIN style regulator or (with the addition of an optional insert) converted for any yoke style regulator. Inlets have imperial 0.750-14 NPSM (3/4 NPS) neck threads for use with modern aluminum and steel SCUBA tanks manufactured for the North American market. Inlets also include a threaded 'dip tube' with hex opening suitable for easy dependable installation with a hex key. Valves have a 5250 psi burst disk.
The DGX Premium valves include a nearly indestructible handwheel made from soft rubber formed around a stainless steel insert. The stainless steel insert ensures positive operation with long-lasting life. The large ribs make it easy to open or close the valve even while wearing gloves. The rubber with stainless steel insert handwheel design is the preferred choice of technical divers. The black color handwheel is standard, and several optional handwheel colors are available.
I bought a used Steel 72 and AL 80 tank. These valves are perfect for my use (I also bought the plug inserts) - I have both yoke and Din 1st stages.
Came on time and they work great - the next owner in 20 years should be real happy after I am done using them. lol
These valves are on all my tanks. No problems, great price. Just make sure you buy the yoke insert at the same time. I keep forgetting and have to order it separately.
I have used these valves for a few years and love them. They are replacing Thermo valves as they become damaged. I find them easier to carry the tanks! They look great and always function smoothly. Delivery is fast and reliable. Great service and great product.
I ordered the wrong valve, called them up and they sent me the correct one at no extra charge. Supper friendly people, just the kind of people you want taking care of you. Thank you dive hear express!
