APEKS WTX-D BUOYANCY CELLS
Elliptical Corrugated Hose
The Apeks technical airway found on each buoyancy cell includes a corrugated hose that has an elliptical
cross section. This allows for a lower profile, which reduces drag and lays cleanly over the shoulder. A
retainer loop comes installed on the elliptical hose to streamline the braided MP hose.
Safety Cable in the Airway
A safety cable can be found inside the corrugated hose of each Apeks technical airway. This safety
cable protects the corrugated hose from hyper-extension and tearing that can be caused by any undue
stresses such as snags.
Heavy Duty Inflator with Brass Buttons
Technical diving equipment must be robust and reliable. Apeks’ new technical inflator exceeds the
challenge. The secret to its reliability is its simplicity. Fewer parts mean less to go wrong and ease of
service. Once you hold the precision marine brass buttons in your hand, you will quickly realize that this
is not a recreational inflator, but rather a serious tool to meet the dive at hand.
Mesh Drain and Grommets
A mesh drain and grommets will prevent water from pooling in the bottom of the buoyancy cell.
Flat Valve / Dump Valve / Over Pressure Relief (OPR) Valve
Each buoyancy cell comes with a flat valve / dump valve located on the left rear inside of the outer bag.
This easy-to-reach dump valve is convenient for releasing air while inverted and is more streamlined
when compared to a standard dump valve. The over pressure relief (OPR) valve feature allows excess
air to vent from the valve when the bladder is full, preventing damage to the buoyancy cell.
To complement your harness, Apeks manufactures a wide variety of WTX-D buoyancy cells to fit your
diving needs. You may choose from the following options:
•
18 lb, 30 lb & 40 lb single cylinder buoyancy cell.
•
45lb & 60lb twin cylinder buoyancy cell.
•
60lb redundant twin cylinder buoyancy cell.
WTX-D buoyancy cells have a flow-through design that allows for a more even distribution of
air compared to more traditional buoyancy cells. The bladder and outer bag are constructed
from a rugged, fade-resistant material that will stand up to the most extreme diving conditions.
A urethane coating on the bladder and outer bag prevents excess water retention, allowing
water to bead right off.
All WTX-D buoyancy cells come equipped with the following features:
