Apeks MTX-R First Stage Regulator

The Apeks MTX-R First Stage delivers exceptional performance. Initially, it features a world-first over-moulded end cap. This cap seals the diaphragm, thus preventing ice build-up. Consequently, free flow risk diminishes in extreme conditions.

An environmentally sealed dry chamber then stops water ingress. It protects the first stage spring. Moreover, this prevents freezing. Furthermore, a forged first stage body maximises thermal performance. Additionally, a ribbed diaphragm clamp boosts heat exchange. This is especially useful in cold water.

The Apeks MTX-R first stage is over-balanced. Therefore, it ensures maximum performance at depth. Also, a rotating turret reduces hose tension. It allows for optimal hose positioning and comfort. Two angled HP ports, moreover, permit ideal hose routing. This also facilitates transmitter fitting. Five intermediate pressure ports exist. Finally, parallel turret ports improve hose orientation.

Apeks regulators have served the military for over 20 years. Now, Apeks brings its military expertise to consumers. The MTX-R is a military specification regulator. Indeed, the "M" represents Military. The "R" signifies recreational use. This new MTX-R builds upon the MTX. It was developed to meet US Navy extreme cold water tests.

Innovative design allows the MTX-R to perform in near-freezing water. It operates at depths exceeding 60 meters. Few consumer regulators achieve this. Additionally, it is tested for octopus use to 60m in cold water.
