Apeks ATX40/DS4 Balanced Yoke Regulator
Before the XTX became the regulator of choice, the ATX models ruled the seas.
The ATX40 is still made available today at an entry-level price. This excellent regulator offers a fully balanced first and second stage with coldwater capability. This product qualifies for Free Parts for Life and comes with hose. (not pictured)
FIRST STAGE FEATURES
- 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 rate faster than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.
- 1 HP port and 4 MP ports are available
- An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt and contamination out
SECOND STAGE FEATURES
- Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing
- The large purge button on the ATX is easy to operate even with thick gloves.
- The integrated venturi control provides a performance boost at depth while preventing unwanted freeflow at the surface.
- An extremely efficient exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator
- The Comfo-bite mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue
- 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
- Offers a compact, integrated exhaust tee
