Apeks MTX-RC Regulator 3 Set

Featuring the same freeze-resistant technology enjoyed by the whole MTX-R range, the MTX-RC resists free-flows in even the coldest temperatures, while offering the user the additional flexibility to adjust the settings for a more comfortable breathe in less extreme environments.

All this is achieved using an innovative first stage design that protects the regulator from freezing and a full set of user controls on the second stage to adjust the breathing performance based on the diver’s individual needs.

This complete set includes a Apeks MTX-RC Octopus and a tactical style messenger bag to keep your regulators safe on your travels. Perfectly sized for a laptop, it’s also your new work bag!

APEKS MTX-RC 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 faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.

• Satin plated brass body with heat exchanging ribs for maximum thermal performance.
• Break through, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap and environmental diaphragm helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage.
• Ribbed diaphragm clamp for improved heat exchange in cold water conditions.
• 5 x medium pressure ports, 4 mounted on a rotating turret for improved hose orientation
• 2 x angled high pressure ports for optimal hose routing and fitting of transmitters.
• Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort.
• Easy to grip DIN hand-wheel or over-moulded yoke hand-wheel, only requires one hand to release.
• Tested for Octopus use - EN250A to 60 metres cold water.
• Nitrox/Oxygen compatible – Up to 40% O2 outside the EU (European Union).

APEKS MTX-RC SECOND STAGE

Oversize breathing effort adjuster makes adjustment easy in cold water whilst wearing gloves. Protective bumpers to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places.

• Ergonomic and simple to use venturi lever.
• Large purge button.
• Reversible second stage for either a left or right hand gas supply configuration.
• A heat exchanger (patented) dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water for a more comfortable breathe.
• Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). The system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. The regulator is supplied with both sets of exhaust tees.
• Comfo-bite mouthpiece
• Flexible nylon braided hose, which has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose.

APEKS MTX-RC OCTOPUS

The Apeks MTX-RC Octopus combines rugged, military grade engineering with the super-smooth breathing experience. The MTX-RC Octopus is the perfect partner to Apeks MTX-RC regulator.

• Venturi diver control for the best performance in any environment
• Large, diver friendly self-flushing controllable purge button.
• 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.
• Colour coded octopus hose included.
• Cold water compatible.

Add optional console:

You can add an optional console including pressure gauge and high pressure hose to your Apeks regulator set. The most popular console is the 1 gauge SPG. The 2 console version of this includes SPG, HP hose and analogue depth gauge with maximum depth marker. The 3 console version has both these and a compass on the back blending three units together in one console. Details of these are listed underneath.

Apeks SPG + HP Hose

The Apeks SPG dial face is designed with clarity in mind by being uncluttered, with large black figures on a luminous background giving a long phosphorescent effect. This makes viewing as easy as possible, even in poor visibility conditions. Comes with rubber protective housing and attached hose. Hose is 30 inches from 1st stage to housing, appx. 32 inches to the SPG link within the housing.

• The gauge case is made from nickel plated brass
• The dial window is made of highly shock resistant material (anti-splinter polycarbonate)
• A specially designed housing protects the gauge and HP hose fitting from accidental damage
• A large loop area designed into the housing allows for easy attachment.
• There is an over-pressure capsule fitted in the back of the module to prevent the screen from exploding in the unlikely event of the internal mechanism failing.

Apeks 2 Console + HP Hose

All of the above PLUS:

• Dials have a long phosphorescent effect for better reading in poor visibility conditions
• There are 2 attachment areas integrated into the design for position flexibility
• This may be a compact design but the displays are vivid and clear - perfect for diving. For example, the depth gauge spreads the first half of the scale and in total shows a range down to 7m (230’)
• Depth gauge has resettable max depth indicator

Apeks 3 Console + HP Hose

All of the above PLUS:

• Compass at back of console
• The compass ratchet bezel is robust and can be rotated with ease even with thick neoprene gloves
• The numbers and directions on the compass bezel are large and very easy to read
• The luminous compass dial with a vivid and clear display makes quick work of compass direction even in poor visibility
