XL4 First & Second Stage + XL4 Octopus + 2 Gauge Console

The Apeks XL4 is especially well-suited for the technical exploration diver who prefers cold water climates. Compact and lightweight, it helps reduce jaw fatigue during long, cold dives. Designed with an innovative, over-moulded endcap in conjunction with the environmental diaphragm that helps prevent ice build-up. The XL4 makes an ideal stage regulator and is also an excellent high-performance option for the technical exploration diver who is serious about maximizing functionality and minimizing weight.

 

Description

First Stage

  • Breakthrough, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap and environmental diaphragm help prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage
  • Large surface area heat exchanger diaphragm clamp helps increase the gas temperature inside the 1st stage, resulting in improved cold water performance
  • 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 machined 1st stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4 platform.

Second Stage

  • Compact and lightweight 2nd stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long duration dives
  • High-performance, pneumatically-balanced, lever-operated poppet valve
  • Large, over-moulded, self-flushing and controllable purge button
  • Ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate
  • Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose
  • Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability
  • Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece has a unique bridge that fits across the upper palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place
  • Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field
  • Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.

2-Gauge Console

The 2-gauge console combines a submersible pressure (contents) gauge and a depth gauge housed in a specially designed case. The unit is completed with a high pressure hose. The console clearly displays your pressure and depth readings for easy viewing under water and the dials have a long phosphorescent effect for better reading in poor visibility conditions. The submersible pressure gauge provides accurate pressure readings with a range of 5000 psi (metric available up to 360 bar). The depth gauge reads up to 230ft (metric available to 70 m).

  • The gauge case is made from nickel plated brass
  • The dial window is made of highly shock resistant material (anti-splinter polycarbonate)
  • A specially designed housing protects the gauge and HP hose fitting from accidental damage
  • A large loop area designed into the housing allows for easy attachment.
  • There is an over-pressure capsule fitted in the back of the module to prevent the screen from exploding in the unlikely event of the internal mechanism failing.
  • Dials have a long phosphorescent effect for better reading in poor visibility conditions
  • There are 2 attachment areas integrated into the design for position flexibility
  • This may be a compact design but the displays are vivid and clear – perfect for diving. For example, the depth gauge spreads the first half of the scale and in total shows a range down to 230 feet
  • Depth gauge has resettable max depth indicator
  • A specific O2 clean version is available for use with high percentage oxygen gases
