SCUBA Outlets
Thermo scuba valves come with three different outlets to mate with any
of the most common scuba regulators. The choice of which outlet to
use is based on cylinder pressure and desired flexibility. the
Thermo K and Thermo PRO scuba outlets are designed for cylinders with
service pressures up to 230 Bar and the Thermo DIN scuba outlet is
designed for cylinders with service pressures above 230 Bar.

THERMO K TYPE OUTLET
The
outlet on the Thermo K valve is designed with twin dimples in the bottom
section of the o-ring keeper. This helps to avoid o-ring blowout
when disconnecting your first stage regulator. The K type outlet is used
on valves with service pressures up to 230 Bar.
THERMO PRO TYPE OUTLET
The
outlet on the Thermo PRO valve comes with a removable insert which allows
the valve to be used either as a K type yoke outlet or as a 230 Bar
threaded DIN outlet. Whether your regulator has a K type yoke
connection, 230 Bar DIN connection or 300 Bar DIN connection, it will
attach to the Thermo PRO valve. This type of outlet gives you the
maximum amount of versatility on cylinders with pressures up to 230 Bar.
THERMO DIN TYPE OUTLET
The
outlet on the Thermo DIN series of valves is designed for higher pressure
cylinders. This outlet can be found on valves for use at pressures
up to 3500 or 4350 psi. This outlet is primarily used on cylinders
with service pressures above 230 Bar. The additional threads in the
Thermo DIN outlet will not allow either K type regulators or 230 Bar type
regulators to attach to it in order to protect down stream equipment from
higher pressures.
