Hi Everyone,

I'm new to scuba and would like to buy a tank, but am unsure of what
tank valve type I need.
I have a set of TUSA regs with a TUSA 1st stage. The only markings on
the 1st stage are:
CE 0474 & EN250 (I think these are safety standards numbers)
R100
H01
0533
I've googled the above with no results....
I suspect I need a K-valve, but am not sure.
Also, what is a Sea Hornet Valve? Is it compatable with a K-valve
system?
regards
Stuart

A-clamp or Yoke-type regulator:

DIN regulator:

And you can get valves that will do both, with a threaded insert;

I tried to put a 1st stage on one of my HP120s last night to use it as a
air supply for dusting out my desktop computer (vaccuming didn't work well
because the normal crevice tool wasn't small enough for some of the
areas)... Turned out that the Dacor 150 1st stage that I use for such
things has too small of an opening in the A-clamp to fit over the valve on
the HP-120... Had to go grab one of my AL80s instead...
