Apeks XTX200 Regulator Set

The Apeks XTX200 Regulator blends style and high performance. Every detail on XTX 200 regulator has been carefully designed to offer a regulator of the highest quality with great performance at any depth. This leading regulator set includes the XTX200 First and Second stages with Apeks Flexi regulator hose.

The XTX 200 is second only to the XTX Tungsten and quite rightly enjoys its position towards the top of the Apeks regulator range. The definitive blend of style and high performance, every detail on this product has been carefully designed to offer a regulator of the highest quality.

The XTX200 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 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. The exhausts are made from strong, yet light-weight material, essential for the diving environment. The regulator set is supplied with both sets of exhaust tees.

The second stage 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 Authorised Service Technician.

Set includes:
1 x XTX200 First Stage
1 x XTX200 Second Stage
1 x Apeks Flexi Regulator Hose

The XTX200 regulator incorporates a new front cover manufactured using high strength plastic which greatly improves the durability of the most vulnerable part of the demand valve and an aesthetically pleasing chrome plated metal insert immediately identifying this regulator as a top of the range model.

The new purge button has improved the purge itself. Due to the new open design the purge is self clearing and prevents debris build-up.

The new ergonomic Venturi lever of the XTX200 has been designed to reduce the amount of grit ingress and also incorporate an index-able, tactile / audible ratchet Venturi lever mechanism.

A new silicone exhaust valve has been used on the XTX200 regulator improving breathing performance.

ADD APEKS OCTOPUS

The XTX40 is a typical second stage which is pneumatically-balanced for smooth, easy breathing, for divers who prefer not to have a breathing effort control knob, to avoid uncontrolled freeflows. It's simple, easy to use design makes it a reliable work-horse for any condition. The XTX50, with  breathing effort control, is Apeks' top-of-the-line Octopus in terms of features and performance and  provides the same features and performance as the primary XTX50 second stage. Both the XTX40 and XTX50 have left / right hand reversibility, come with  a high visibility yellow front cover and 36” yellow hose, are suitable for cold water use (below 10C / 50F).

XTX40 OCTOPUS

• The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A second 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.
• 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 Authorised Service Technician.
• Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable.
• Suitable for coldwater use (below 10C / 50F).
• Compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
• Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
• 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.
• 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.

XTX50 OCTOPUS

The XTX50 octopus can be converted from a right handed hose configuration (as supplied from the APEKS factory in the standard) to a left handed one.  The Apeks XT X50 octopus includes Diver Changeable Exhausts which provides the option to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee.

A larger and wider exhaust tee provides minimal bubble interference which is essential for underwater photography, whilst a smaller and narrow exhaust tee will provide a compact comfortable regulator which is required when used as an octopus.

The XTX 50 octopus incorporates a new two-shot high strength plastic front cover, improving the durability of the most vulnerable part of the demand valve. An ergonomic Venturi lever reduces grit ingress whilst a silicone exhaust valve will improve breathing performance.

The XTX 50 also has an adjustable cracking control to alter the inhalation effort required to open the second stage valve.
