What is the difference between DIN and Yoke? The pros and cons of DIN vs yoke regulator first stages, and how to change between the two with a yoke to DIN adapter.

2016年6月19日 · Let’s try to clear up the pros and cons when it comes to DIN versus yoke valves. First, what is the difference between them? The yoke is a clamp-type mounting, which is placed over the tank valve and then tightened into place. The DIN is a threaded valve, wherein you screw the regulator into the tank valve.

Most divers never think of how their first stage regulator attaches to the tank. There's two standards DIN and Yoke. Find all you need to know here!
