APEKS BUOYANCY CELLS
To compliment your choice of harnesses, Apeks manufactures a
selection of single cylinder and twin cylinder buoyancy cells in
assorted sizes and configurations.
Each single cylinder buoyancy cell
incorporates four oval grommets.
These allow the buoyancy cell to be
mated directly to the WTX harness
or back plate with the use of two
standard tank bands. See page 3
for details.
Oval Grommets for Dual Tank Bands
Single Cylinder Buoyancy Cells
Single cylinder buoyancy cells also have
multiple sets of central metal grommets that
give you the option of mounting with nuts
and bolts. These may be used if your single
cylinder is equipped with a single cylinder
adapter that has two bolts inches (8 cm)
on center.
Multiple Metal Grommets for Nut and Bolt Attachment
Some models have side expansion gussets that allow the cell
to expand and provide additional lift capacity without increas-
ing the overall size.
Single cylinder buoyancy cells that have a flow through de-
sign at the bottom, also have a unique web restriction at the
bottom of the cell that creates an impression for the cylinder
to nest into. This prevents a fully inflated cell from pushing
the cylinder away from your lower back. Mounted on this web
restrictor is a " accessory D-ring. This easily accessible D-
ring is a great location to attach a surface marker buoy, lift
bag, or back-up scooter.
