Apeks XL4+ Regulator

MANUFACTURER: Apeks
CODE: RG124119
PRICE:$882.00

The Apeks XL4 is especially well-suited for the technical exploration diver who prefers cold water climates. Compact and lightweight, it helps reduce jaw fatigue during long, cold dives. Designed with an innovative, over-moulded endcap in conjunction with the environmental diaphragm that helps prevent ice build-up. The XL4 makes an ideal stage regulator and is also an excellent high-performance option for the technical exploration diver who is serious about maximizing functionality and minimizing weight.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1st Stage

  • Breakthrough, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap and environmental diaphragm help prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage
  • Large surface area heat exchanger diaphragm clamp helps increase the gas temperature inside the 1st stage, resulting in improved cold water performance
  • 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 machined 1st stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4 platform.

2nd Stage

  • Compact and lightweight 2nd stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw fatigue on long duration dives
  • High-performance, pneumatically-balanced, lever-operated poppet valve
  • Large, over-moulded, self-flushing and controllable purge button
  • Ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate
  • Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than traditional rubber hose
  • Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability
  • Comfo-bite™ mouthpiece has a unique bridge that fits across the upper palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place
  • Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the field
  • Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.
