Here's an assertion that I'm not too sure of.  Why are the thin threads 
of the DIN valve so much more secure than the threads on the yoke screw 
and/or the brass form on the yoke itself?  Note that I dive with a DIN 
valve, I'm just not sure that it's all that much more secure than a 
properly designed yoke.

Question:  What do they use on YOUR DIN valve to fill it?  On mine, they 
use a fill block and a (yep) yoke.

It is hard to disagree with a pro-survival decision,
     It is even harder to engage in prolonged arguments
          with someone who consistently makes anti-survival decisions.
