WTX Series Owner’s Manual
Apeks buoyancy cells are designed to be slim at the top to
allow the diver’s head to tilt back, encourage proper hose
placement and to assure that the diver has easy access to
the manifold valves.
Each twin cylinder buoyancy cell comes standard with a
lower left pull dump. This easy-to-reach dump is convenient
when dumping while in a horizontal or inverted position.
On the lower right is an additional threaded manifold. While
it comes capped off from the factory, it gives the diver the
option of adding a second pull dump. A dump valve kit is p/n
4754.
The outer bag of the twin cylinder buoyancy cell is made from
000 denier ArmorShield™ Cordura. This fade-resistant ma-
terial was chosen for its extreme durability.
The inner bladder of the buoyancy cell is made from a strong,
coated fabric. This material meets all necessary military
specifications and can be found on lifesaving flotation equip-
ment worn by military pilots.
The inner bladder of the buoyancy cell is protected from
getting caught in the outer zipper by using a barrier of V-Dia-
mond™ rubber.
The Apeks technical airway found on each cell includes a
corrugated hose that has an elliptical cross section. This al-
lows for a lower profile, which reduces drag and lays cleanly
over the shoulder.
A safety cable can be found in the corrugated hose of each
Apeks technical airway. This safety cable protects the cor-
rugated hose from hyperextension and tearing that can be
caused by any undue stresses such as snags.
