Description
Apeks XTX50 DST regulator
The XTX50 is for divers who wants the benefits of a feature-rich regulator at a moderate price. This popular regulator has four medium-pressure ports all mounted on a rotating turret, resulting in optimal hose routing while eliminating sharp bends in the hose.
The XTX50 regulator can be converted from a right handed hose configuration (as supplied from the APEKS factory in the standard) to a left handed one. This feature is known as the Reversible Venturi System (RVS).
Along with all the benefits below, the beauty of the Apeks XTX50 with DST first stage is that as your diving progresses, this regulator can keep up with everything you wish to learn, no mater what configuration! from out the box sing tank, to progressing to twinset or sidemount diving to Rebreathers with the need for Bailout Cylinders.
Purchasing once - with SO MANY uses means over the long term, you SAVE money!
Benefits of a Swivel Connection
Improved mouthpiece comfort as a standard hose tends to push your regulator out of your mouth due to hose stiffness when cold and under pressure. Allows you to rotate your head more easily during a dive. Greater general freedom of movement as this is less restrictive than a standard hose. Reduces jaw fatigue increasing the enjoyment of your dive. Beautifully engineered, smooth swivel second stage connection allows multi-directional movement.
First Stage
- Uses the DST first stage
- 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 rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
- 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports on a rotating turret are angled for optimum hose routing
- An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.
