Product Information
The Apeks XTX40 Dive Regulator anchors this package with the DS4 first stage, an over-balanced diaphragm design that lets medium-pressure gas build faster than ambient pressure as you descend, so performance holds up at depth. The first stage carries four medium-pressure ports and one high-pressure port angled for clean hose routing, with DIN and Yoke connections and an environmental dry system that keeps water, silt and contamination out of the spring chamber. Its second stage is pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing, with a 2-stage progressive purge button, a soft-touch venturi lever, a Comfo-bite mouthpiece, and a Diver Changeable Exhaust system that comes with one exhaust tee.
Backing it up is the Apeks XTX50 Octopus, built around the same pneumatically-balanced second stage approach, with its own 2-stage progressive purge button and Comfo-bite mouthpiece. It adds a breathing effort control knob so you can desensitize it when it's not in use, a silicone exhaust valve, and braided flexi-hoses rated for coldwater use. It's compatible with EAN40 out of the box, and its molded parts are treated with an additive aimed at MRSA, E-Coli, bacteria, fungi, viruses, mold, yeast and algae. Like the XTX40, it can be converted from right-handed to left-handed hose routing by an Apeks Authorized Service Technician.
Rounding out the package is an Apeks Regulator Bag to keep the primary and octopus together and organized between dives. Pairing the XTX40 w/ DS4 with the matching XTX50 Octopus means your primary and backup share the same hose type, mouthpiece style, and coldwater-rated construction, so there's nothing unfamiliar to adjust to if you ever need to switch to your backup underwater.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Apeks XTX40 regulator?
The XTX40 is Apeks' first and second stage regulator set, built around the compact DS4 first stage. The first stage is an over-balanced diaphragm design that's environmentally sealed, with 1 HP port and 4 MP ports, and it comes in DIN and Yoke connections. The second stage is pneumatically balanced, with a 2-stage progressive purge button and a Comfo-bite mouthpiece.
What is the DS4 first stage used on the XTX40?
DS4 is the model name of the XTX40's first stage. It's an over-balanced, diaphragm design, meaning that as you descend, the medium-pressure gas in the hose increases faster than ambient pressure for better performance at depth. It's environmentally sealed to keep water, silt and contamination out of the main spring chamber, and it has a chrome-over-marine-brass exterior with a heat exchanger for coldwater use.
What's the difference between the XTX40 and XTX50 in this package?
In this bundle, the XTX40 is the primary first and second stage set you breathe from, while the XTX50 is included as the octopus (backup second stage) connected to the same first stage. Both have a pneumatically-balanced second stage and a Comfo-bite mouthpiece, but the XTX50 octopus adds a breathing effort control knob so you can desensitize it when it's stowed. We don't have manufacturer data comparing them as two standalone primary regulators.
What are the second stage features on the XTX40?
The XTX40 second stage is pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing. It has large purge buttons with a 2-stage progressive purge, a soft-touch venturi lever, and a Comfo-bite mouthpiece.
What's included in this Apeks XTX40 regulator set?
This package includes the Apeks XTX40 Dive Regulator w/ DS4 (first and second stage), the Apeks XTX50 Octopus Dive Regulator, and an Apeks Regulator Bag to carry it all.
