The Apeks MTX-RC Single Cylinder Regulator Set is designed to be used in a long hose style single cylinder equipment configuration. It is useful in situations where the large gas volumes of a twin-cylinder configuration are not required.

The MTX-RC is an updated version of the original MTX-R regulator, which was developed to meet the incredible demanding requirements of the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. Apeks modified the MTX-RC to include the convenience, comfort and practicality of diver adjustable inhalation effort and venturi effect.

The MTX-RC is a high-performance, fully balanced regulator system, much like most of the Apeks range. It was developed for extreme cold conditions and with technical/advanced diving in mind.

The package includes:

• 2 x MTX-RC Primary second stages
• 1 x MTX-RC first stage
• 1 x 2.1m Hose
• 1 x 61cm Hose
• 1 x HP hose and TEK SPG

FEATURES:

1ST STAGE:

• Satin plated brass body with heat exchanging ribs for maximum thermal performance.
• Breakthrough, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap, and environmental diaphragm help prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. It 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.

2ND STAGE:

• Protective bumpers to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places.
• Ergonomic and simple to use venturi lever.
• An oversize breathing effort adjuster makes adjustment easy in cold water whilst wearing gloves.
• Large purge button.
• The 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 more comfortable breathing.
• Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). The system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to an oversized 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.
• Designed and manufactured in the UK.
• No single-use plastic in the packaging
