WTB: Oxygen Pin index to DIN adapter

Looks like this

New, used, doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Trying to use an o2 regulator with a standard din valve? Do you already own the o2 regulator? I use a victor medical products flow regulator and replaced the pin index clamp with a standard yoke a-clamp, got the idea from Casey about 20 years ago... It could easily take a din connector instead. The regulator is the same one as this:

I've considered something like that, but then I lose the pin index option and am committed to just a DIN.

Not opposed to it, and that might be what I end up doing if I can't track down one of these adapters without spending an arm and a leg getting it from Europe.

IMHO, in the field you'll probably have a greater quantity of o2 available to you from deco bottles than anything that has the pin index valve on it.

Probably so. But I also might end up with a dedicated o2 kit at some point. Not married to any one idea just yet. We'll see.

We have a couple of DAN kits in the dive locker at UF, but more often than not the bottles are empty, or close to it, because someone taught a rescue class and forgot to let the equipment manager know to refill it. So I always wind up bringing a deco bottle and Franken-flow reg whenever we are with students anyway. It's also easier to fill my steel 72 or al 40s..

For training the DAN kits are nice because you have both constant flow and demand regs, and masks, etc.

I take it you've been thinking about this a bit since last weekend?

Dammit, now you have me thinking about switching my frankenreg to DIN rather than yoke. Thanks AJ.

Yeah, thinking about it a bit more. I've always got o2, but I'd like the option to easily run a NRB mask and just have a little more flexibility. Thought this little contraption would be a simple way to get a good system going without cobbling together parts.

When you find one let us know the source

DAN Europe has them, and the pop up on eBay UK from time to time, it seems. Between the shipping and VAT (plus its nearly a 90 dollar item to begin with), it gets pretty nutty.

Gotta pay to play though.

Sorry...this THIS url! My Bad!

PfcAJ posted the same request on the deco stop and someone provided a link to a shop in Germany that sells them. I ordered one, exactly as pictured in this thread. It was 80 bucks with shipping and is on its way to my house as I type this.

I was involved in the past thread on this and found that GMC no longer sold them, and that NESS (northeast scuba supply) says they have them, but they don't. If you order one or even the parts to build one yourself, in about a week you will get an email saying they can no longer get those parts. So although they say in stock on website, they don't really exist.

I've tried a variety of options, but really like the flow control oxygen bi-pin regulator and DIN valved deco bottles in place of O2 medical bottles with those medical valves, just so I can have the options that the medical regulator provides plus the convenience of using my deco oxygen bottles, which are now 3 just so I'll have medical oxygen if needed plus more deco gas I should need. As an instructor with the requirement of having O2 during all check dives, it sure makes sense to be able to use the deco tanks for medical purposes if needed, and after the students leave, do a deco dive or two! Why carry the DAN O2 kit with bottles in addition to deco tanks? Extra deco bottles make better sense to me. There is also the convenience of one less valve type to clean, maintain, have parts for.

TJ, our Aviation regs are CGA 540? If so where / how can I go from DIN to CGA 540?

Skip - please make sure to post back in this thread when you receive it and check it out. I'm ready to pull the trigger on it myself.

We recently had an O2 provider class and and this subject came up. I did some research online and came up with nothing. Started looking around at other options and discovered this medical oxygen regulator:

This is a 0-25 lpm barb with dual DISS (demand valve) fittings with a CGA540 connection meant for a storage bottle of o2. Part Number 120-1205.

You have two options to make this work on a DIN valve

and
http://www.gmcscuba.com/ProductInfo/45184.aspx

You can combine the two or you can just use the 45184 DIN adapter by taking the CGA540 off of the regulator and replacing it with the 45184 as they are both 1/4NPTM. This is what I did and it works like I charm!
