Reply to: DIN vs J/K valves (was J-valves - word of caution)
I'd be interested in the relative strengths of DIN vs yoke-type valves. The
only solid argument that I've heard is that DIN captures the o-ring more
securely than a yoke type(J or K). Guess it works, 'cause I've never blown an
o-ring on my DIN valves.

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.
