Subject: DIN fitting caps
To: techdiver@terra.net

This post is an FYI for those who use or may consider those screw-in plastic 
caps for DIN fittings.  A friend of mine bought a new pair of doubles that came 
with these caps for the first stage.  While loading a full (3000PSI) pair of 
tanks in his car, he accidently turned the valve for the first stage.  The 
plastic cap in the DIN fitting exploded, sending him to the hospital for 12 
stitches in his face.
