Apeks XTX200 WTX Harness System D40

Apeks XTX200 WTX Harness System D40

Build your setup around the Apeks WTX-D40 with WTX harness. The rear wing leaves the front of the harness open for access to equipment, while the modular construction lets you select compatible weight storage and accessories around the required components in this configuration.

This package combines the required components listed below, with the available options allowing you to choose the final configuration.

Features and benefits

• Continuous-loop air cell. The donut shape gives gas a continuous path around the wing, helping it move from one side to the other as you adjust your position. Correct wing choice, weighting and trim remain part of the complete setup.
• Harness support. The WTX harness uses 1050D ballistic nylon to support the wing and cylinder fittings. Adjust the harness over your usual exposure suit to keep the system close while leaving your shoulders free to move.
• Configurable weight storage. Optional SureLock II pockets. Add the listed weight system if it suits your ballast arrangement. Choosing compatible pockets lets you position ballast around the complete system and keep release controls accessible.
• Equipment attachment. D-ring layout: 14 stainless steel on harness. The attachment points give clipped accessories a consistent, reachable position and help prevent loose gear from trailing below you.
• Durable construction. Construction uses 1000D Armorshield Cordura. The fabric protects the buoyancy structure from everyday contact with equipment; rinse it after use and inspect high-wear areas regularly.
• K-style inflation control. The inflator provides separate controls for adding air and oral inflation or deflation. Its familiar hose-mounted layout keeps the controls together at the shoulder.

Fit and configuration

Unisex fit. Select the appropriate harness or BCD size and adjust it with your usual exposure suit. Fit details: S, M, L or XL harness. Choose enough lift for your complete cylinder and equipment configuration. Lift capacity, ballast-pocket capacity and the BCD’s dry weight describe different things; use the size-specific values in Technical Specs when comparing options.

Regulator components

• Apeks XTX200 & XTX40 Regulator Set Din. The XTX200 primary second stage provides separate inhalation-effort and Venturi controls, letting you adjust breathing response within its operating range. The XTX40 supplies the alternate second stage; have the hoses arranged around your donation method and equipment layout.

Package components

• 1 × Apeks XTX200 & XTX40 Regulator Set Din
• 1 × Apeks Pressure Gauge (SPG) With Miflex Hose
• 1 × Apeks WTX Harness For Tech Diving and Travel

The list shows the required components at the displayed default quantities. Your selected sizes, connections, quantities and optional extras determine the final package.

Care, rinsing and storage

After every dive, rinse the BCD, harness, buckles and accessible fittings with fresh water, paying attention to salt and sand around the inflator, dump valves and weight-pocket releases. Follow the Apeks manual’s procedure for the fitted inflation system, including keeping the power inflator pressurised where specified.

Dive Gear Australia recommends Gear Aid Revivex BC Cleaner 10 oz for cleaning the outer surfaces and internal air cell. It helps remove salt, chlorine and residue while conditioning suitable rubber and plastic parts. Use the dilution on the cleaner’s label and follow the equipment manual.

Rinse the air cell internally through the opening specified in the manual, using fresh water and the recommended cleaner dilution when needed. Gently rotate the equipment to reach the inside surfaces, drain through the specified outlet, then rinse until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly before drying.

Allow the BCD to dry in the shade, then store it slightly inflated in a cool, dry place without tight folds or heavy gear on top. Before diving, check that it holds air and that inflation controls, dump valves, straps and weight releases work correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s service schedule and have leaks, sticking controls or damage checked by an authorised technician.

Care for each regulator and other package component according to its own manual. Wash an assembled scuba regulator while connected to a secured cylinder and pressurised; keep pressure on until it is out of the water and its first-stage connection is dry. Use the dedicated regulator-care guidance for breathing components.
