The XTX40 regulator can be converted from a right handed hose configuration to a left handed one. This feature is known as the Reversible Venturi System (RVS). Changing the regulator to a left handed configuration is both quick and simple and can be performed by any APEKS Authorised Service Technician. The XTX40 regulator incorporates the new feature of Diver Changeable Exhausts system (DCE). This system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice of the wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference(essential for underwater photography) and the narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator (ideal for use as an octopus regulator). The XTX40 regulator incorporates a new two-shot high strength plastic front cover, improving the durability of the most vulnerable part of the demand valve.
The new ergonomic Venturi lever of the XTX40 has been designed to reduce the amount of grit ingress. A new silicone exhaust valve has been used on the XTX40 regulator improving breathing performance. Egress means way out, exit, escape - the perfect description for an ideal octopus. The Apeks Egress has been designed as a left and right hand second stage regulator perfect for octopus use and emergency buddy breathing situations. It is, however, also entirely suitable as a left and right handed primary second stage compatible with any Apeks first stage. If used with an unsealed first stage then it is only recommended for warm waters, but is suitable for cold water diving when used with any Apeks environmentally sealed first stage.
