Apeks MTX-RC First Stage

The Apeks MTX-RC First Stage is built for performance and reliability in the extreme cold and combines rugged, military grade engineering with the super-smooth breathing experience that Apeks regulators are renowned for.

Featuring the same freeze-resistant technology enjoyed by the whole MTX-R range, the MTX-RC resists free-flows in even the coldest temperatures.

Features

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• DIN, Yoke and M26 Thread available, 300bar, 232bar and M26 300bar (O2) respectively.
• Tested for Octopus use – EN250A to 60 metres cold water.
• Nitrox/Oxygen compatible – Up to 40% O2 outside the EU (European Union), within the EU anything above 21% O2 must use an M26 Connection.
