APEKS XTX DST INT 1st Stage Regulator

The XTX40 is a mid-range Apeks regulator, it is still classed as a high performance regulator in independent reviews. The XTX40 comes with all the features of our highly successful XTX50 with the exception of diver adjustable breathing resistance control. Features: - 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. 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. Only the narrow exhaust tee is supplied with the regulator. Optional 5th port is available for sidemount or twin cylinder set ups. - Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed configuration. 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. - Available in yoke or DIN configuration. - Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable. - Suitable for coldwater use (below 10°C / 50°F). - Compatible with EAN40 out of the box. First Stage: - Uses the DST first stage. - Unique over-balanced, diaphragm design - as the diver descends, the overbalancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth. - 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports on a rotating turret are angled for optimum hose routing. - An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.
