XTX Second Stage Regulator Maintenance Manual

CAUTION: 

Ensure Diaphragm is seated 

correctly and not creased. 

Fitting Diaphragm

Fitting Hose and Mouthpiece

WARNING:  

Ensure that the Mouthpiece is 

properly secured on the outlet port.

Before fitting hose, carry out suction test by 

holding thumb over Valve Spindle (20) to seal and 

trying to breathe through mouthpiece outlet port. 

No air should be drawn in.

19. While holding the rim of the case at eye level, turn

the seat in clockwise until the lever drops about 4mm

below the case rim.

20. Position the Diaphragm (4) into the Case (24).

Using your finger, work the edges of the Diaphragm

into place so it sits evenly in the Case. Install

the Diaphragm Cover (3) into the Case, over the

Diaphragm.

21. Screw the Case Cover onto the Case. Using the

XTX Tool (p/n AT20F) tighten the Cover until it stops.

Confirm that the Purge Button is properly aligned.

22. Add a new lubricated ‘O’ Ring (AP1409) to the male end

of the Hose. Install a new, lubricated ‘O’ Ring (AP1154)

into hose swivel end.

23. Screw the Hose onto the second stage. Using an

11/16” crows-foot and torque wrench and a spanner on

the Heat Exchanger, tighten the Hose to 5 Nm.

24. If equipped with a Comfo-bite Mouthpiece, make sure

the ‘bridge’ of the Mouthpiece (12) is facing upward.

Stretch the Mouthpiece over the second-stage Mouthpiece

outlet port. At the base of the Mouthpiece is a

groove for the Mouthpiece Clip Wrap the Clip around the

Mouthpiece so that the buckle points toward the Hose.

Tighten the Clip and snip the excess with side cutters.

NOTE: 

If your facility is equipped with a test bench, 

perform the tests before installing the mouthpiece. 

General instructions for performing bench tests are 

located in the next section “Final Testing.”

25. After all testing has

been completed, refit

the Plug (26) (If fitted)

into the Adjusting

Screw (30).
