The MTX-R sidemount set is a super tough, rugged, high performance, go anywhere sidemount regulator configuration designed to meet the rigors 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.

First stages:
  • Over balanced for superior performance.
  • Compact environmentally sealed diaphragm system completely eliminating the maintenance issues associated with silicone, oil or grease filling.
  • Recommended for frequent use in cold or contaminated water.
  • Environmental over-molded endcap & diaphragm that helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact damage.
  • Double swivel hose for greater freedom of movement and comfort.
  • 5 x 3/8” UNF medium pressure ports & 2 x 7/16” UNF high pressure ports.
  • 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 transmitters.
  • Forged rotating turret with medium pressure ports in a parallel direction for improved hose orientation.
  • Tested for Octopus use - EN250A to 60 meters cold water.
  • Nitrox/Oxygen compatible
Second stages:
  • 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-molded 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 molded 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
