Pre-orders from 22nd January. Deliveries Expected from approx 5th March 2024
Experience the ultimate freedom and control on your scuba diving adventures with the Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator. Its rugged and military-grade engineering, combined with the super-smooth breathing that Apeks regulators are known for, will take you anywhere, from warm to cold, from shallow to deep.
Experience the freedom of diving in the coldest of waters, while breathing with ease and comfort, thanks to the innovative Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator. Embrace the power of technology that resists free flows and adjusts to your individual needs, enabling you to explore the depths of the ocean with confidence and joy.
The Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator first stage utilizes a forged body that is optimized for thermal performance. It features heat exchanging fins on almost every part to increase the surface area and improve cold water performance while preventing ice formation. The internal components are environmentally sealed, which minimizes contamination risk and prevents water from coming into contact with critical parts.
The Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator second stage is designed for divers who want to fine-tune their valve's performance. It has been modified to allow divers to adjust the inhalation effort and venturi effects to suit their individual needs and diving style. The second stage has a large heat exchanger around the hose inlet that dissipates cold temperatures generated during the depressurization of compressed air.
Similar to the MTX-R, the Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator has four low-pressure ports on a parallel port turret, with a fifth high flow port under a protective cap. Additionally, it has a high-pressure port on either side of the main body that is pre-angled for optimal hose routing.
The Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator second stage is built to be tough and robust. It has a wide exhaust deflector, and it is fitted with the typical Apeks regulator mouthpiece, which offers excellent comfort and hygienic properties.
INCLUDED IN THE BOX: Limited Edition Apeks Regulator, Certification Card, Apeks Limited Edition Challenge Coin.
Apeks MTX-RC 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Regulator 1st Stage Features:
- Limited Edition DLC and PVD coated 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-300Bar and Yoke 232 Bar fittings
- 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.
