DIN insert allen key size

[MiamiScubaGod]

Keeping the thread going...the OMS din/yoke plug system mentioned above. Does anyone know offhand what size allen wrench is needed to remove the plug? My allen key at home doesn't go big enough so I want to buy the right size by don't have the tanks with me.


Thanks

I don't know off hand but I want to say 5mm. I'd have to check when I got home.

[I split this off into a new thread because the old one was three years old]

There are two sizes.
The OMS's that I have are the smaller ones... Thermo uses the lager one. I'll check when I get home & let you know both.

The donuts I've got aren't OMS, and they take an 8mm allen wrench.

yes, my Dive Rites take 8mm allen wrenches

6mm and 8mm.

All my Thermo valves use 8mm but I have Scubapro valves with inserts in both 6mm and 8mm sizes.

Just as an FYI, the new Thermo valve inserts are a different size from the ones they used last year. I just got two new E7-100's ad the new insert has a smaller diameter center than the older ones I normally use.

Mine are being filled right now or I'd check the size for you.
