The system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator. The regulator is supplied with both sets of exhaust tees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe second stages can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left-handed configuration. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However this procedure must ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with DIN connection only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding cold water performance (below 10 C \/ 50 F).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with EAN40 out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFirst Stage Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, solid one-piece body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique 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.

A 2-stage progressive purge is used - press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control  is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the center for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe second stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mold, yeast and algae.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heat exchanger (patented) which surrounds the valve mechanism, dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of first stage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver-balanced diaphragm design, environmentally sealed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact, solid one piece body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of HP ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 (7\/16\" UNF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of MP ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 (3\/8\" UNF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnvironmental Dry Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst stage exterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChrome over marine brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Apeks","offers":[{"title":"Complete Set","offer_id":29246956929068,"sku":"RP112114","price":2745.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"First Stages Only","offer_id":29246956961836,"sku":"RT133113","price":1444.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1193\/9448\/products\/ApeksTek3RegulatorSet.png?v=1610238794","url":"https:\/\/beachcitiesscuba.com\/en-au\/products\/apeks-tek-3-regulator-set","provider":"Beach Cities Scuba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
