That is a safety feature.
The idea is that a 300 bar regulator can be used on either 200 or 300
bar tanks, but a 200 bar regulator can't be used on a 300 bar tank.

>Ill have to check out the OMS i have and see how much sticks out. I think
its 200 bar.I saw on the Diverite site they had 3/4 and 5/8ths.If im not
mistaken 300 bar only came in 5/8ths so if i have a 3/4 tank i cant use it.

Most of the HP tanks use 7/8 inch threads.

>Any way anyone could possibley clear this up for me???Can i get a 300 bar
din in 3/4???

I seem to recall seeing one.  It might have been on the Halcyon website.

>Id like to set up 2 aul-80s i have thats why.

Why would 300 bar connections on aluminum tanks be so important?
Running those tanks above 200 bar gets pretty dangerous anyway.

200 bar DiveRite style manifolds go for about 150 dollars through ebay.
I've bought two in the last few months.
