The Vortex is the ideal regulator for public safety teams. Its superior ease-of-breathing holds up no matter what the environment throws at it: cold, current, silt, or contaminants. • Suitable for cold water use in water temperatures below 50°F / 10°C • Compatible with EAN40 right out of the box • Available with DIN or yoke connection • Comes with a custom designed Miflex braided hose. Miflex hoses are lightweight and extremely flexible • Fully supported with exploded diagrams, spare parts, service kits, tools and service manuals 1st Stage: • This balanced-diaphragm first-stage is completely sealed off from the environment. No water enters it keeping it impervious to silt and other contaminants • An external, secondary diaphragm keeps water out of the main spring chamber preventing ice buildup • A 5th port located on the end of a swivel turret allows for optimum hose configuration for twin cylinder setups • Heat exchanger ribs, integrated into the main body, allow cold to dissipate from the internal valve, thus minimizing the chance of freeze-up • Two high-pressure ports allow for use of a computer transmitter along with an analog back-up gauge • A black chrome finish, with a high quality PVD coating on the heat exchanger, means that the Vortex regulator is durable and prepared for all environments 2nd Stage: • Pneumatically balanced for superior breathing performance • An adjustment control knob allows the diver to dial in the inhalation resistance • An integrated venturi lever allows the diver to shut down the venturi assist when the regulator is out of the mouth • A comfy-bite mouthpiece, with palate bridge, eliminates jaw fatigue • A heat exchanger warms the second stage valve providing effective freeze resistance • The purge button has a limited throw, minimizing the chance of a freeze-up • This second stage is fully reversible left/right using the conversion kit. • Technicians will enjoy the convenient micro-adjuster located within the adjustment knob
