Dolphin Tanks on Evo

devo · 23rd February 2006, 17:55

I am going on Undersea Hunter in March and they only have "4L Draeger tanks". I bought the Travel Frame for my Evo and I wanted to see if anyone can confirm these tanks are compatible?

you'd need to convert them cause they will be male valves rather than female - otherwise theyy shjould be ok if you have to use them.

Do they have other size cylinders for you to use, such as 5l, 7l, 10l or 12l? Mind you, you could probably get away with 10l's but 12l's might be a bit much!!! Could end up with lumps behind your ears though

But look on the bright side, you wouldn't need a bailout rig

"We have 4 liter tanks for Rebreather Dolphins with Inversed DIN".

This was their first response, so I will clarify if they are female. They also had 3L bailouts, so I asked if the were female DIN and O2 compatible.

Nice feature about the travel frame. I am getting probed by airport security when they see my scrubber and 2 cylinders in my carry on!

you will need adapters to convert the draeger threads to "normal" threads.

devo · 23rd February 2006, 19:08

See, it's those details that I need! Do you have first hand experience or ideas on an adaptor?

What about the possibility of taking my evo valves? Will I have a problem with the tank threads?

Type this: 1073 into here and if you lucky thats what they have in there cylinders.

Might not be thoughin whihc case you need something to convert it back
it a female din to female din adaptor -oo that would be nasty

That's backwards of what he needs.

That lets you use a Drager reg on a standard female DIN tank valve.

He needs to use a standard male DIN on a Drager tank valve, a much rarer requirement.

I know I was saying if they use them your ok else you need the oppersite

In the earlier post with the reply from the operator, they used the term inverse DIN, that would be a way to descrive the standard Drager tank valve.

That's why I figured the 1073 was backwards.

Not sure how much room there is to work with, but if there's enough, check the 1075/int adapter.

It makes the Drager tank valve a yoke style tank valve, and then you could use a common DIN to yoke adapter to attach your regs.

Type in 1075
