Apeks MTX-RC Regulator

Product Description

Featuring the same freeze-resistant technology enjoyed by the whole MTX-R range, the MTX-RC resists freeflows in even the coldest temperatures, while offering the user the additional flexibility to dial it up for a comfortable breath in less extreme environments. All this is achieved using an innovative first stage design that protects the regulator from freezing and a full set of user controls on the second stage to adjust the breathing performance based on the diver’s individual needs.

Life Time Part Kits

1st Stage 

• Available in yoke or DIN configuration.

• Suitable for cold water use (below 10°C / 50°F)

• 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.

• Over-moulded innovative endcap and environmental diaphragm.

• 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 cold water.

• Nitrox compatible – Up to 40% O² outside the EU (European Union)

2nd Stage

• 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.

• Comfo-bite mouthpiece

• Double swivel hose

• Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose.

• Simple service kits.

• Venturi control.

• Breathing resistance control.
