Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator - Grey

Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator - Grey

The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator with Flexi regulator hose introduces a new concept. It offers the build quality and performance of all Apeks regulators. 

However, its primary objective is sustainable production. Every detail has been considered to minimise environmental impact. Partnership with PlasticBank makes the XL4 Ocea the world’s first ocean plastic negative regulator.

The Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator set which includes DIN fitting first stage and second stage with a Apeks Flexi hose is also available in YUCCA colour.

Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator is eco-friendly

Several sustainable materials comprise Apeks XL4 Ocea Regulator. Recycled polymers, up to 70% post-consumer waste, form the black components. Bioplastic parts derive from non-petroleum sources. Trivalent chrome plating uses fewer harmful chemicals. Eco brass is lead-free, more recyclable, and stronger than traditional brass.

Environmentally sealed first stage

The environmentally sealed first stage consequently prevents freezing. Furthermore, an environmentally sealed dry chamber stops water contact with the spring. Apeks XL4 Ocea’s first stages, moreover, are over-balanced for maximum performance at depth. Therefore, this results in superior deep-water function.

Additionally, the compact machined first stage builds on the proven Apeks DS4 platform. Lead-free brass, similarly, reduces the regulator's footprint. Also, trivalent chrome plating uses less energy. Finally, the first stage includes two HP ports and four MP ports.

Compact and lightweight second stage

The Apeks XL4 Ocea second stage is compact and lightweight. Consequently, this improves comfort and reduces jaw fatigue. Furthermore, the Venturi lever prevents accidental free flows. Additionally, the patented Apeks Comfobite mouthpiece reduces jaw fatigue. Its unique bridge, moreover, fits across the palate without bite pressure. Finally, a reusable clip simplifies mouthpiece changes.

Moreover, the second stage features a high-performance, pneumatically balanced poppet valve. Similarly, a large, over-molded purge button allows for self-flushing and controllable purging. Also, an ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use.

Additionally, the flexible nylon braided hose performs better in cold water. Furthermore, a standard metallic hose connection ensures interchangeability. Likewise, a reusable mouthpiece clip simplifies field changes. Finally, a durable rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble diversion.
