- Apeks XTX200 Regulator (Yoke) -
The Apeks XTX 200 regulator, second only to the XTX Tungsten, boasts a perfect blend of style and high performance. Every detail has been meticulously designed to provide a top-quality regulator. It features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust (DCE) system, allowing divers to switch between a small and large exhaust tee.
Incorporating active protection against infection, the regulator additive combats MRSA, E-Coli, bacteria, fungi, viruses, mold, yeast, and algae. The XTX 200 can be converted from a right-handed to a left-handed hose configuration, though this should only be done by an Apeks Authorized Service Technician.
The regulator comes standard with braided flexi-hoses, offering lighter weight, increased flexibility, and durability. It's suitable for cold water use below 50 Degree F (10 Degree C) and is compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
At the core of the XTX 200 is an over-balanced diaphragm design in the first stage, delivering superior breathing performance regardless of depth. The unique Environmental Dry Sealing System prevents ice build-up on the main spring during cold water dives and protects against contaminants entering the spring chamber.
The second stage features a pneumatically balanced valve system for improved ease of breathing in all diving conditions. The XTX range can be dedicated to either left or right-handed use, offering greater flexibility in kit configuration.
The Reversible Venturi System (RVS) allows precise venturi assist control, while the Diver Changeable Exhaust System lets users choose between a compact, lightweight exhaust or a wider one to avoid bubble interference. The regulator comes standard with the Comfo-Bite mouthpiece to minimize jaw fatigue, weighs 44.87 oz (1272g), and includes an owner's manual.
- Apeks XTX40 Octopus -
The Apeks XTX40 Octopus provides the same features and performance as the XTX40 second stage and includes left / right hand reversibility. 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 Authorized Service Technician. Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable. Suitable for cold-water use 50 Degree F (10 Degree C) and is compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing. The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-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 center for the full effect of the purge, i.e., when regulator clearing etc. 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. Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control. The second stage is 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, mold, yeast and algae.
A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator. The Comfo-Bite mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue. 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. Regulator comes with a high visibility yellow front cover and a 36" (91.5cm) yellow hose.
