Meet the lovely Apeks MTX-R Regulator

The MTX-R is based on the MTX, a regulator that was developed in accordance with the United States Navy Experimental Dive Unit extreme cold water test. Innovations in design mean that the MTX-R regulator performs in almost freezing water at a depth of over 60 metres, something that very few other regulators on the consumer market can boast. With an innovative first stage design that helps to prevent ice build up around the diaphragm, the MTX-R is reliable, rugged and expedition ready.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Apeks MTX-R Regulator DETAILS

First 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 thehose to increase at a faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
• Over-moulded innovative endcap and environmental diaphragm, a forged1st stage body offering maximum thermal performance.
• 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 waterconditions.
• Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort.
• Tested for Octopus use – EN250A 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.

Second 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 chromeplated brass plate improving durability of the second stage.
• Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protectthe 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.

SCUBAPRO MK25 / D420 / S270 Cold Water Balanced Regulator Set

MK25 Evo First Stage

The MK25 EVO first stage lets you enjoy an ultra-fast breathing response, instant delivery of air on demand, great sensitivity and extra-high airflow — regardless of how cold the water is. This is made possible with SCUBAPRO’s exclusive patented Extended Thermal Insulating System (XTIS) that fully isolates the mechanical elements of the first stage from the cold, increasing its freezing resistance 30 percent over previous versions of the MK25 without compromising breathing performance. This makes the MK25 EVO the ultimate do-it-all first stage for all water temperatures.

MK25 Features

• Air balanced flow-through piston in a chrome-plated brass body provides constant and effortless airflow unaffected by depth, tank pressure, or breathing rate.
• Patented XTIS (Extended Thermal Insulating System) fully isolates the mechanical elements from the cold, increasing freezing resistance 30 percent over the previous MK25 without compromising breathing performance. Key insulation system components are visible in blue.
• New spring insulating coating, body insulating bushing, anti-freeze cap, bigger body and cap thread all work in concert with the XTIS to improve cold-water performance.
• Anti-freeze protection radically increases breathing reliability when diving in the most extreme water temperatures.
• Two opposing high pressure ports allow the first stage to be positioned either up or down.
• Five high-flow low pressure ports on a swivel turret maximise hose routing options.

D420 Second Stage

Combining the iconic design of the original D-Series regulators with the latest advances in breathing performance technology, SCUBAPRO engineers have created a 21st century regulator in terms of quality, reliability, performance and style.

The D420 features balanced valve inside a housing supported by a full metal structure. Called the Progressive Flow Control Valve, it is able to deliver abundant airflow for the best breathing performance, with a natural smoothness comparable to what you might experience breathing on the surface. The uniquely shaped fiberglass-reinforced nylon casing is ultra-durable and allows the LP hose to be connected on either the right or left side for maximum rigging flexibility. A dive/pre-dive system includes a switch on the top of the casing with a thumb tab for adjusting the direction of airflow right out of the valve.

The highly efficient purge button is a technical jewel based on a new concept that gives the D420 its unique face. Teamed with the venerable MK25 EVO balanced piston first stage, this is a regulator system purpose-designed for today’s avid divers and SCUBAPRO brand enthusiasts everywhere.

D420 Features

The S270 Octopus

The S270 Octopus is tough, reliable, and easy to use. Its air-balanced design can be counted on to deliver top-notch breathing performance when you need it most.

S270 Features:

Air-balanced valve smoothes out the inhalation effort when diving at varying depths and supply pressures

Lightweight casing, made of a fiberglass-reinforced nylon core and a special PU outer layer, is extremely durable plus helps reduce jaw fatigue and improve diving comfort

Technopolymer plastic barrel with a metal thread and a balanced valve helps save weight and provides a surface that ice crystals can’t grab onto when diving in extreme cold water

Dive/predive switch prevents freeflows when not being used

Compact and efficient exhaust tee minimises exhalation effort

Compact Hi-Flow mouthpiece is comfortable, made with FDA-approved silicone and features a large cross-section to maximise airflow
