Changing Apeks XTX 50 from yoke to DIN?

[DennisC]

If you get the DiN conversion keep the yoke kit, it is not difficult to change back and forth with the proper tools.

That is a great idea, I will def do that. Thanks!

I made the Switch on my XTX 200's to DIN. I should have done this from the beginning. I have a yoke converter for when I travel and rent tanks, but on my tanks DIN stays.

 

[DennisC]

Awesome! You used the kit for this? nothing changed about them?

Two XTX 200's just like they came that way from the first day. All factory parts. My yoke converter is also the factory part. Still stays close dimensionally. I will not ever buy another yoke reg, now that I've made this switch.

Awesome. I'm gonna do it then! You have the Apeks DIN to yoke converter too?

 

[Just_Me]

Yes. The fit is great.

 

[DennisC]

Im going to get it done then. Thanks for the info!

 

[Just_Me]

Glad to help.

Do you think a non Apeks adaptor would work as well? They have a no name brand one at my LDS for $50 instead of $95 for the Apeks

I only know that the apeks works well. I also know that for less than $100 to convert with factory parts I wouldn't risk my personal breathing gas supply by not using factory parts. Call me crazy.
