Description

Apeks MTX-RC Octopus

The Apeks MTX-RC Octopus is much the same as the original MTX-R Octopus upon which it is based but has been modified to add diver adjustment to the valve inhalation effort and control over the venturi effect within second stage.

The octopus is finished with a high visibility yellow front cover, inlet trims and low pressure hose. To help combat ice forming on critical components in near freezing water whilst performing at 60m the octopus is fitted with a large heat exchanger around the hose inlet that works to draw the cold created in the pneumatically balanced valve as the compressed gas from the first stage is depressurised into the housing. At the same time it also helps to transfer heat from the surrounding water back into the valve and housing.

Features

• Protective bumpers to protect the second stage from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places.
• Ergonomic and simple to use venturi lever.
• Oversize breathing effort adjuster makes adjustment easy in cold water whilst wearing gloves.
• Large purge button.
• Reversible second stage for either a left or right-hand gas supply configuration.
• A heat exchanger (patented) dissipates the cold caused by gas expansion while drawing in the warmth of the ambient water for a more comfortable breathe.
• Features 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. The regulator is supplied with both sets of exhaust tees.
• Comfo-bite mouthpiece
• Flexible nylon braided hose, which has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose.
• Designed and manufactured in the UK.
• No single-use plastic in the packaging
