Breathing-effort and Venturi controls

The XTX50 Octopus puts both controls on the alternate second stage. Its progressive purge and yellow identification are part of the same package.

An adjustable XTX50 alternate second stage

The Apeks XTX50 Octopus provides a pneumatically balanced second stage with breathing-effort adjustment and a Venturi lever. A yellow front cover and 36-inch yellow hose identify its alternate-air-source role.

Who this suits

It is a candidate for a diver who wants adjustment controls on the alternate second stage as well as clear visual identification. The purchase here is the octopus, not an XTX50 first-and-second-stage regulator set. Match it to an appropriate first stage and system configuration.

Adjustment and purge controls

The breathing-effort knob changes the opening effort, while the Venturi lever provides the second airflow control. The purge is progressive: the source describes a lower flow when pressed at the side and a fuller purge at the center. Learn those controls from Apeks’ operating instructions in the context of your training.

Hose routing has a service boundary

The second stage supports left- or right-handed hose configuration. Apeks specifies that the conversion is for an authorized service technician. That makes it a configurable design rather than an invitation to change the internals during ordinary setup.

Check the alternate package

The source lists a yellow front and 36-inch hose. Confirm the exact compatible regulator configuration and included items when comparing another listing. The useful distinctions are the balanced valve, adjustable controls and reversible design.
