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.

[PfcAJ]

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.

[PfcAJ]

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.
