Works Great and Keeps Dust Cap Snug

Mar 19, 2018
I had been using another brand's adapter, but the threaded "pin" was not long enough to hold the dust cap snug and in place when the regulator was not on a tank. I saw the Dive Rite version in a shop in Bonaire and immediately realized the threaded portion was longer than my existing adapter, so when I returned, Dive Gear Express was the first place I looked for it. Now that I have it, I couldn't be more pleased with it. It fits my Atomic DIN regulator perfectly, and like I said, this one is able to keep the dust cap snug and in place when it's off a tank. Highly recommended.

Finally - Something That Works As Intended

I've had a variety of DIN-to-yoke adapters, and every last one of them except the Dive Rite adapter leaked. This was unsettling, annoying, and made me look like a noob who didn't know how to use his gear right. As much as I try to avoid yoke altogether, some shops that run tourist charters simply don't have anything else. It these situations, the DR adapter is the only adapter that I will use from now on.

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. 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 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.

Also, if you use a dust cap on the native yoke fitting, do not leave it 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. Best practice would be to remove and replace the knob from the yoke fitting while separating the rubber cap from the fitting. When the yoke fitting cap is not in use, store it in a dry place.
