MTX-R Sidemount Regulator Set
Description
MTX-R Sidemount Regulator Set by Apeks
The XTX Tungsten is built on the XTX200 platform but with a truly unique, added feature: it is protected with
a hard, durable Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish. This “tough as nails” finish is better than traditional
chrome plating. The coating is made of high quality grades of Titanium, Zirconium and Chromium. The result
not only looks extremely attractive, but protects your investment from normal diving abuse. Features a swivel hose.
Features
• 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. The regulator is supplied with
both sets of exhaust tees.
• 5th port as standard. The 5th port also has the additional bonus of an
integrated heat exchanger
• 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
• Available in yoke or DIN configuration
• Braided flexi-hoses are now standard on all models. These hoses
are lighter weight, more flexible and more durable
• Suitable for coldwater use (below 10°C / 50°F)
• Compatible with EAN40 out of the box
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 rate faster than ambient. This results in
superior performance at depth
• 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports are angled for optimum hose routing
• 5TH MP port incorporated into the design
featuring an additional heat exchanger
• An environmental dry system keeps water out of the main
spring chamber thus preventing ice buildup and keeping silt
and contamination out
Second Stage
• 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, ie 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
• Easy-to-grip opening effort control knob keeps the diver in
control
• The second 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, mold, yeast and algae
• A silicone 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

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.
