Description
MTX-R
First and Second Stage:
- Unique over-balanced diaphragm design – as the diver descends, the over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase at a faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth
- Compact environmentally dry sealed diaphragm system completely eliminating the maintenance issues associated with silicone, oil or grease filling
- Break through, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap & environmental diaphragm helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage
- Easy to grip DIN hand-wheel or over-moulded yoke hand-wheel, only requires one hand to release
- DIN, Yoke and M26 Thread available, 300bar, 232bar and M26 300bar (O2) respectively
- 5 x 3/8” UNF (Unified National Fine) medium pressure ports
- 2 x 7/16” UNF high pressure ports
- The 5th 3/8” UNFmedium 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 water conditions
- Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort
- Tested for Octopus use – EN250A to 60 meters 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
- Simple to use with no dive adjustment controls and reduced chance of free flow occurrence, pre-settable cracking effort or venturi control by an Apeksapproved qualified technician
- 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 chrome plated brass plate improving durability of the second stage
- Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protect the 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
- Removable bungee necklace with lock out feature for retaining second stage in the mouth of an unconscious diver during rescue and to assist with jaw fatigue
- Comfo-bite mouthpiece
- Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose
- Simple service kits
- Easy to service
- Colour coded octopus hose

MTX-R Octopus
This octopus uses the same second stage as the MTX-R.
- Includes left / right reversibility, coldwater capability and the performance you would expect from an Apeks pneumatically balanced valve
- The unit has a high visibility yellow front cover, yellow accent pieces and a 36” braided flex yellow hose
- Comes standard with small exhaust tee
