MTX-R Extreme Cold Water Regulator
Description
MTX-R Extreme Cold Water Regulator by Apeks
The MTX-R is based on the MTX military regulator and is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere regulator. The MTX-R has excellent cold water performance and has a greatly reduced risk of free flow, this has been achieved by improving several areas, including our innovative endcap solution that solves a long-challenged reality for cold-water divers of first stage freeze up. This regulator is designed to meet all aspects of the NEDU (Navy Experimental Dive Unit) military requirements for diving in extreme cold environments. The MTX-R is highly reliable and very easy to service.
FIRST 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.
• Comes standard with 5 MP and 2 HP ports
• The 5th medium 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
SECOND STAGE
• Simple to use with no diver adjustment controls and reduced chance of free flow occurrence, presettable
cracking effort or venturi control by an Apeks approved 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 allows for left or right hand 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
• Features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). The system gives the diver the ability
to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. The regulator is supplied with both sets
of exhaust tees
• Comfo-bite mouthpiece
• Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose

Proposition 65
Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 – Warnings Required
WARNING: This Dive Right In Scuba product can expose you to certain chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
We appreciate your decision to purchase Dive Right In Scuba products to provide the best in water experience. We take our job seriously! You may have noticed that our products now show a warning label at point of sale referring to carcinogens and birth defects. You may also have begun to see warnings related to carcinogenic substances or substances causing birth defects prominently displayed in hotel lobbies, hospitals, or other places of business recently. These warnings are required by the State of California, and we believe that an explanation of the California statute legislating the requirement will provide you valuable information regarding the relative risks of the chemicals that may be present in consumer products.
In 1986, the State of California passed the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act; otherwise known as “Proposition 65” or "Prop 65". Prop 65 requires businesses like ours to disclose to individuals the presence of chemicals listed in the Act prior to point of sale. The regulations implementing this Act have been amended over time with the most recent updates will take effect on August 30, 2018. There are more than 900 chemicals on the Prop 65 Chemical List, including many chemicals that are found in components of a wide array of consumer goods or are used to manufacture components that make up consumer goods.
Prop 65 does not establish acceptable concentrations for any listed chemical; however, the agency which enforces it has established what is called "safe harbor" exposure levels for about one third of these chemicals below which warnings are not required. These "safe harbor" are established for listed carcinogens based on the quantity of the chemical that would result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime (70-year) exposure at the level in question. A similar process is used to establish safe harbor levels for listed reproductive toxicants. Additional information in plain language on safe harbor levels is available from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/Prop65/background/p65plain.html
At Dive Right In Scuba, the safety of your in water experience is our highest priority. We go to great effort to select materials that offer superior value, quality, and durability while also being generally recognized as safe and reliable for the full life of the product. Dive Right In Scuba also works closely with many regulatory bodies, such as the US Coast Guard and Underwriter’s Laboratories, to ensure the longevity of your on-water safety through targeted selection of durable, long lasting materials and components that undergo significant validation testing before being used to manufacture end items. Sometimes the safety promise we offer appears at odds with the health and safety requirements of other legislation in certain parts of the world when some regulations are updated ahead of others. To ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, Dive Right In Scuba has placed a warning on products that contain a Prop 65 listed chemical, either directly or as a part of the raw material supply chain. This allows us to comply with California law and provide our California consumers with the disclosure required by Prop 65, while still promising the safest on water experience possible.
Dive Right In Scuba is working diligently with regulatory bodies and our own manufacturing partners to continue to continue to improve our product performance and reduce the presence of less desirable chemicals. Water is a precious resource we all share that is important to the health and well-being of our planet and all people. Our goal is to continue to enhance your water life experience while reducing our overall impact to the planet and, in particular, its waterways. While it is a bit of a juggling act to achieve, we are confident you will see continued improvement in both the immediate and long term future. We hope this explanation will enable you to understand why you will be seeing warnings on some our products.
Thank you for your continued use of Dive Right In Scuba products.
