Apeks MTX-R Regulator

Apeks MTX-R Regulator

Apeks

SKU:RG122111-NED

Description

The MTX-R is based on the MTX, a regulator that was developed in accordance with the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. Innovations in design mean that the MTX-R regulator performs in almost freezing water at a depth of over 60 metres, something that very few regulators can do.  

Product Features

First Stage

  • Available in yoke or DIN configuration.
  • Suitable for cold water use (below 10°C / 50°F)
  • Unique over-balanced diaphragm design – as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in thehose to increase at a faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
  • Over-moulded innovative endcap and environmental diaphragm, a forged1st stage body offering maximum thermal performance.
  • The 5th 3/8” UNF medium pressure port includes a protective bumper when not in use.
  • Forged first stage body with heat exchanging ribs for maximum thermal performance.
  • Angled HP ports for optimal hose routing and fitting of transmitters.
  • Forged rotating turret with medium pressure ports in a parallel direction for improved hose orientation.
  • Ribbed diaphragm clamp for improved heat exchange in cold waterconditions.
  • Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort.
  • Tested for Octopus use - EN250A cold water.
  • Nitrox/Oxygen compatible – Up to 40% O² outside the EU (European Union), within the EU anything above 21% O² must use an M26 Connection.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Second Stage

  • High performance, pneumatically balanced, lever operated poppet valve.
  • Large, diver friendly self-flushing controllable purge button.
  • Front cover with over-moulded elastomer incorporates a formed chromeplated brass plate improving durability of the second stage.
  • Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protectthe second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places.
  • Reversible second stage for either a left or right hand gas supply configuration.
  • 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.
  • Comfo-bite mouthpiece
  • Double swivel hose
  • Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose.
