The MTX-R Sidemount Set is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere sidemount regulator configuration designed to meet the rigours of cold water and extreme sidemount diving. The MTX-R is highly reliable and also very easy to service out in the field which make it an ideal choice for the expedition and exploration diver.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

The MTX-R has excellent cold water performance and a greatly reduced risk of free flow. This has been achieved by improving several areas, including an innovative endcap and environmental diaphragm, a forged 1st stage body offering maximum thermal preference, a ribbed diaphragm clamp and a redesigned & enlarged heat exchanger on the 2nd stage with metal incorporated into the front cover design.

FEATURES

FIRST STAGE

• Available in yoke or DIN configuration
• Suitable for cold water use (below 10°C / 50°F)
• 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
• Over-moulded innovative end cap and environmental diaphragm, a forged 1st stage body offering maximum thermal performance
• The 5th 3/8” UNF 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
• Tested for Octopus use - EN250A cold water
• Nitrox/Oxygen compatible – Up to 40% O² outside the EU (European Union), within the EU anything above 21% O² must use an M26 Connection

SECOND STAGE

• Simple to use with no dive controls, pre-settable 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 bumpers incorporates a formed chrome plated brass plate improving durability of the demand valve
• Large protective elastomer bumpers on the side and on the top to protect the demand valve from impacts and scratches in the most vulnerable places
• Reversible second stage for either a left or right-hand gas supply. Hard wearing, satin chrome
• All gas contact moulded parts are produced using an active protection additive that kills MRSA, protects against E-Coli, bacteria and fungi, and is also very effective against viruses, mold, yeast and algae
• Large heat exchanger fitted to help reduce second stage freezing. Nitrox/Oxygen compatible
