Apeks MTX-RC single cylinder set of MTX-RC DIN with MTX-RC and MTX-RC - rubber 210 & 65 cm - finimeter
Based on the military-grade MTX regulator, the MTX-RC is an exceptionally durable, rugged, high-performance regulator for all types of use. The MTX-R delivers excellent performance even in cold waters, with significantly reduced risk of blowing off. This has been achieved through improvements in several areas, including an innovative solution in the cover that finally offers a way out of the icing problem during cold water dives. This regulator has been designed to meet all Navy Experimental Dive Unit (NEDU) requirements for dives in very cold waters.
Suitable for cold water use / Nitrox compatible
First stage:
- Unique, over-balanced, diaphragm-controlled design - when the diver descends, the over-balancing causes the intermediate pressure in the hose to rise faster than the ambient pressure. This results in better than average breathing performance at depth.
- Compact, dry-sealed diaphragm system eliminates maintenance problems.
- The groundbreaking, innovative overmolded first stage cover
and dry diaphragm help prevent ice formation that causes first stage blow-off in extreme conditions and provide protection against damage from shock.
- Available with DIN thread only, for 300 bar.
- 5 x 3 / 8 UNF (Unifi ed National Fine) medium pressure outlets
- 2 x 7 / 16 UNF high pressure outlets
- Milled first stage body features heat exchange fins for maximum thermal
for maximum thermal performance.
- Angled high pressure outlets for optimum hose routing and transmitter
the attachment of transmitters.
- Milled, rotatable housing head with medium pressure outlets,
aligned in parallel for improved hose routing.
- Ribbed diaphragm support for improved heat exchange during cold water
cold water dives.
- Hose with double swivel for increased freedom of movement and comfort.
- Tested for octopus use: EN250A to 60 m, cold water.
- Nitrox / Oxygen compatible - up to 40% O2 (not within the
European Union)
Second stage:
- Extra large breathing resistance adjustment device is effortless to operate even in cold water with gloves on.
- Ergonomically designed, easy-to-use verturi lever.
- Powerful, pneumatically balanced, lever-controlled valve.
- Large, diver-friendly, self-purging, controllable air shower.
- Elastomer overmolded cover includes chrome-plated brass plate and increases Second Stage durability.
- Large elastomer bumpers on sides and top protect it from bumps and scratches in the most vulnerable areas.
- Reversible second stage can be configured for breathing gas supply from the left or right side.
- Patented heat exchanger surrounds the valve mechanism and dissipates cold from the expanding breathing air while drawing heat from the surrounding water.
- Features the innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust System (DCE). This allows the diver to exchange a small bubble deflector for a large one. Both bubble deflectors are included with the regulator.
- Comfo®-Bite mouthpiece
- The flexible, nylon-wrapped hose has better cold-water capability than conventional rubber hoses.
