Apeks regulator XTX 20 + XTX20 octopus + gauge
This regulator has the performance of the XTX40 but without the cold water features. It is well suited for warm water conditions (above above 10º C / 50º F) and is exceptional value for money. 
Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust 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, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator. Only the narrow exhaust tee is supplied with the regulator. 
The second stage can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left-handed configuration. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However, this procedure must ONLY be performed by an APEKS Authorised Service Technician. 
Available in DIN configuration. 
 
First Stage APEKS : 
Use the DST first stage.
A balanced, diaphragm design – provides consistent easy breathing from start of dive until end.
1 HP port and 4 MP ports are angled for optimum hose routing
 
Second Stage APEKS: 
Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.
The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used. Press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the center for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
The large venturi lever has a soft touch rubber grip, which makes it easier to locate and use. The lever reduces the amount of grit ingress and therefore resists any possible friction giving a smooth operation.
The 2nd stage is manufactured with active protection against infection as all molded parts are produced with an additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mould, yeast and algae.
A silicone exhaust valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator.
The Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece virtually eliminates jaw-fatigue.

The XTX20 Octopus is a more affordable way to get high performance out of an Octopus. It provides the same features and performance as the XTX20 second stage and includes left / right hand reversibility. It comes with a high visibility yellow front cover and a 36” yellow hose. It is designed for water temperatures above 50º F (10º C).
The XTX purge buttons are large and easy to operate. A 2-stage progressive purge is used. Press the purge on the side for a lower flow rate, useful where more control is required such as filling lift bags etc, then press in the centre for the full effect of the purge, i.e. when regulator clearing etc.
Can be converted from a right-handed hose configuration to a left handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left-handed configuration is both quick and simple. However, this procedure MUST only be performed by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician.
Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable.
Compatible with EAN40 out of the box.
Pneumatically-balanced second stage results in smooth, easy breathing.

Apeks Gauge

The Apeks submersible pressure (contents) gauge, with an internal Bourdon pressure measuring mechanism, gives you clear information on the gas contents of your cylinder. The gauge indicates the cylinder bottle pressure and the dial range is from zero to 5000psi (a metric version is also available with a range up to 360 bar). The dial face is designed with clarity in mind by being uncluttered, with large black figures on a luminous background giving a long phosphorescent effect. This makes viewing as easy as possible, even in poor visibility conditions.

 

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.
