Apeks XTX 40 Octopus
The XTX40 Octopus gives you a straightforward alternate air source with a Venturi lever and Comfo-Bite mouthpiece. Its hose-routing options let a qualified technician configure the second stage around your preferred regulator layout.
Features and benefits
- Balanced second stage. Pneumatic balancing reduces the force needed to open the demand valve, helping the second stage respond smoothly as you inhale.
- Venturi control. The lever changes airflow assistance inside the second stage. Use the pre-dive setting for surface handling and the dive setting as directed in the manual.
- Progressive purge. The purge responds to how firmly you press it, giving you control over the flow used to clear the second stage.
- Reversible hose routing. An authorised technician can configure the second stage for left- or right-hand hose entry to suit your equipment layout.
- Comfo-Bite mouthpiece. The silicone palate bridge supports the second stage with less need to clench your jaw, which can make longer dives more comfortable.
- Heat exchange. The heat exchanger transfers warmth from the surrounding water to the valve area, helping counter the cooling that occurs as gas expands.
- Flexible breathing hose. The braided hose bends readily around your equipment, helping reduce tension at the second-stage connection.
- Visible alternate air source. The yellow hose and cover make the octopus easier to distinguish from your primary regulator when locating and deploying it.
Setup and compatibility
Use as an alternate second stage in a compatible regulator system, with hose routing and stowage matched to your training and equipment.
Care, rinsing and storage
Clean this component as part of a complete, correctly assembled regulator system. After each dive, connect the assembled regulator to a scuba cylinder and open the valve to pressurise the system. Keep it pressurised while fully submerging the first stage, second stages and connected hoses in fresh water. This allows thorough cleaning of the exposed components and hoses while helping prevent water entering the internal air passages, where it can cause corrosion and damage. Keep the cylinder secure throughout cleaning.
For routine cleaning, Dive Gear Australia recommends Cressi Neoclean Wetsuit Wash Neoprene Cleaner 500 mL or Revivex Wetsuit Shampoo 10 oz to help remove salt, chlorine and everyday residue. Dilute according to the cleaner’s label, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Keep the regulator pressurised throughout washing and rinsing. Lift it out of the water and dry the first stage and cylinder connection before closing the cylinder valve, releasing the pressure and disconnecting. Fit the clean, dry dust cap, then allow the regulator to dry in the shade. Store it with the hoses loosely curved, without sharp bends or tension.
Before each dive, inspect the mouthpiece, hoses and connections for wear or damage. Have your regulator serviced by an authorised Apeks technician at the interval specified in its manual, or sooner if it leaks, is damaged or its breathing performance changes. Leave internal adjustments and repairs to a qualified technician.
