Genesis Pro DIN/Yoke Valve

Explanation on the Back Pressure Relief Feature

In course of using a scuba valve, there are times where excess air may have accumulated behind the face o-ring during normal use. When this air is not vented properly from the o-ring groove it can cause the o-ring to dislodge during regulator dismounting.

Sherwood valves feature an intentional stamping mark in the machined inner ring of the o-ring gland. This mark prevents the metal ring from sealing against the 1st Stage regulator and trapping pressurized gas in the o-ring groove. If this gas is not properly vented, it can force the o-ring to dislodge when the 1st stage is removed from the valve. The stamping mark creates a path to vent any trapped gas before the 1st stage is removed.

The Genesis Scuba Diving Pro DIN/Yoke Valve has a standard yoke outlet with a spin-out threaded DIN adapter to accommodate 230-bar (3,300 psi). This Genesis valve exceeds CGA V9 standards for cylinder valves for compressed gases. The valve is cycle tested at the Genesis factory 5,000 times to exceed all real-time world applications assuring the user the highest in quality and dependability. The valve is engineered with high flow characteristics to maximize regulator performance. The valve design allows for easy and comfortable cylinder handling. A slant back hand wheel allows easy access to operating the valve when regulator is mounted on the cylinder.

A positive hand wheel grip for easy identification of on/off direction and the valve is designed with proven and readily available replacement valve parts. The valve has a DOT approved burst disc assembly uses integrated disc and plug design. The yoke valve is service pressure rated for 3,000 psi (200 bars) and has been tested to 12,000 psi (828 bars) for safety. Genesis Scuba Diving Pro DIN/Yoke Valve is manufactured from durable corrosion resistant marine grade chrome plated brass.

The heavy-duty valve mechanism is designed for smooth operation and the multi-ported burst disc plug will prevent jetting air from tipping over a standing cylinder or creating a dangerous spinning cylinder in case of an over pressurization of the cylinder. Valve is standard (3/4"- 14 NPSM) threaded cylinder to valve inlet and has a high capacity dip tube that prevents contaminants from reaching the air stream.
