{"product_id":"apeks-xtx40","title":"Apeks XTX40 Regulator","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough the XTX40 is a mid-range Apeks regulator, it is still classed as a high performance regulator in independent reviews. The XTX40 comes with all the features of our highly successful XTX50 with the exception of diver adjustable breathing resistance control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first stage has four medium-pressure ports all mounted on a rotating turret. This results in optimal hose routing while eliminating sharp bends in the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). 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. Only the narrow exhaust tee is supplied with the regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional 5th port is available for sidemount or twin cylinder set ups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in yoke or DIN configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBraided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models.

This results in superior performance at depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 HP ports and 4 MP ports on a rotating turret are angled for optimum hose routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSecond Stage Features: \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. 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\u003eYoke and DIN available\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\u003eMP ports mounted on swivel turret\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of HP ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (7\/16\" UNF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of MP ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 with 5th port option (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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrientation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvertible LH or RH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColdwater Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType of second stage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePneumatically balanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated Venturi Lever\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComfo-bite™\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExhaust tee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiver Changeable - supplied with small exhaust tee only.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat Exchanger for freezing resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHose type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBraided Flexi-hose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall work of breathing (WOB) scores\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvg. 0.85 joules\/liter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitrox compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes to 40% O2 when new, out of the box \/ Can be O2 cleaned to 100%.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYoke 1230g \/ DIN 1100g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apeks","offers":[{"title":"Yoke","offer_id":29246937169964,"sku":"RG114122","price":451.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1193\/9448\/products\/ApeksXTX40RegulatorYoke1.png?v=1610312767","url":"https:\/\/beachcitiesscuba.com\/en-gb\/products\/apeks-xtx40","provider":"Beach Cities Scuba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
