Features:

• 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

• Compact environmentally dry sealed diaphragm system completely eliminating the maintenance issues associated with silicone, oil or grease filling

• Break through, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap & 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

• 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

• 5 x 3/8” UNF (Unified National Fine) medium pressure ports

• 2 x 7/16” UNF high pressure ports

• The 5th 3/8” UNF medium pressure port includes a protective bumper when not in use

• Forged first stage body with heat exchanging ribs for maximum thermal performance

• Angled HP ports for optimal hose routing and fitting of transmitters

• Forged rotating turret with medium pressure ports in a parallel direction for improved hose orientation

• Ribbed diaphragm clamp for improved heat exchange in cold water conditions

• Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort

• Tested for Octopus use - EN250A to 60 meters 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

• Simple to use with no dive adjustment controls and reduced chance of free flow occurrence, pre-settable cracking effort or venturi control by an Apeks approved qualified technician

• High performance pneumatically balanced lever operated poppet valve

• Large, diver friendly self-flushing controllable purge button

• Front cover with over-moulded elastomer incorporates a formed chrome plated brass plate improving durability of the second stage

• Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places

• 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

• Removable bungee necklace with lock out feature for retaining second stage in the mouth of an unconscious diver during rescue and to assist with jaw fatigue

• 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 has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose

• Simple service kits

• Easy to service

• Colour coded octopus hose
