Regulator Apeks XTX40. Balanced

This popular first stage has four medium-pressure ports all mounted on a rotating turret. This results in optimal hose routing while eliminating sharp bends in the hose. Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). This system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator. Only the compact exhaust tee is supplied. Optional 5th port is available for sidemount or twin cylinder set ups. Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However, this procedure MUST only be performed by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician. Available in yoke or din configuration Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable Suitable for coldwater use Compatible with EAN40 out of the box First Stage: -------- Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth. 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports are angled for optimum hose routing An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out Second Stage: Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used. Press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the center for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
