View Full Version : Converting Drager Dolphin to Standard DIN fittings
debersole December 20th, 2004, 07:58 PM Does anyone know of an available conversion kit for the Drager Dolphin to allow it to use tanks with standard DIN valves? Traveling with the unit is difficult as most shops don't have tanks with Drager valves. You can always fly with the valve and see if the local shop will let you use it on one of their smaller nitrox tanks, but that is a hassle as well. Any thoughts?

TecMe (http://www.tecme.de/frame_eq1.htm) in Germany doesn't offer a kit per se, but they do offer just about any adapter for the Dolphin you can think of and then some. Have a look at their page and see what you need.

Safe diving Thanks for both of the links -- TecMe and Oxycheq. They both have adaptors. TecMe in Germany has one that requires taking apart the current Drager Valve and with shipping is $68 USD. Oxycheq has an adaptor that fits over the current valve and lists for $32. I'm going to order from Oxycheq as soon as California wakes up this morning! Atticus January 9th, 2005, 02:52 AM How did the DIN adapter work out? Ours required some additional machining after we received it. debersole January 9th, 2005, 11:15 AM I got the one from OxyCheq and it works great. At first there was a little leak but with working it back and forth a few times it worked great. FLTEKDIVER January 9th, 2005, 11:15 AM How did the DIN adapter work out? Ours required some additional machining after we received it. Really? I was going to order a DIN adapter also, i didn't know there was extra maching required. Also, anyone know where to get a Fill Adapter, as right now i can't fill my tank, the LDS around here dosn't have, or carry them, so now i have this pretty black Dolphin siting here, and i can't dive it cause i can't get the tank's filled!! Atticus January 9th, 2005, 03:33 PM Really? I was going to order a DIN adapter also, i didn't know there was extra maching required. I dont for a moment want to discourage anyone from buying these. When we purchased the adapter Patrick mentioned that on some older Dragers a little modification may be required. He was honest with us up front. After the modification the adapter worked well. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem ... debersole January 9th, 2005, 04:55 PM Really? I was going to order a DIN adapter also, i didn't know there was extra maching required.

Marco: I had the same problem when I got my Drager. I went on the internet and sent out a batch of emails and got two replies who had adaptors for sale. Try one of these guys.
