Description
Apeks XTX200 DIN Regulator with XTX50 Octopus Package
Apeks XTX200 Regulator with XTX50 Octopus Package. The Apeks FSR first stage is a high performance diaphragm design with an environmental seal. This gives the XTX200 improved cold water performance and reliability.
Apeks XTX200 balanced first stage has four low-pressure ports and two high-pressure ports. These are set at pre-orientated angles for the best hose routing. XTX200 second stage smoothly delivers air or nitrox to you during your dive so all you have to think about is the enjoyment of being underwater.
It also 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 you the choice of wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography). Or a narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator.
The regulator is supplied with both sets of exhaust tees. The XTX additionally has a reversible design allowing a trained technician to swap the hose handing.
Apeks XTX 200 Regulator with XTX50 Octopus Package | Technical
Apeks FSR style first stage
- Highly polished bright chrome plating
- Compact one piece body
- 4 angled medium pressure ports 4 x 3/8″ UNF
- 2 angled high pressure ports 2 x 7/16″ UNF
- Removable ARCAP valve seat
- 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
- An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out
Apeks XTX 200 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 centre for the full effect of the purge i.e. when regulator clearing etc…
- The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation
- Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control
- The second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA protects against E-Coli bacteria and fungi and is also very effective against viruses mould yeast and algae
- A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator
- The Comfo-bite mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue
- A heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water
