The 200 and 300 bar fittings are so that you can use a 300 bar reg on a 200 
bar tank, but not the opposite.  The 300 is deeper/longer, so if you try to 
screw a 200 male in a 300 female, he's gonna have ego problems cuz his gun is 
not gonna be big/long enough for the touch down.  On the other hand  a 200 
female will be pretty happy with a 300 male.

As far as I know ScubaPro reg din addaptors are all 300 and the valve is 200 
(in size regardless of the operational pressure).

take care, Ed.
