WTX Series Owner’s Manual 13
Each bladder cell has 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
42754. The additional manifold for the front bladder is on the
right front side and the additional manifold for the rear blad-
der is on the left rear side.
The outer bag of the twin cylinder buoyancy cell is made
from 1000 denier ArmorShield™ Cordura. This fade-resistant
material 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
specications and can be found on lifesaving otation 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 left side inator is for the front bladder and the right side
inator is for the rear bladder.
The Apeks technical airway found on each cell includes a
corrugated hose that has an elliptical cross section. This
allows for a lower prole, which reduces drag and lays clean-
ly 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.
Technical diving equipment must be robust and reliable.
Apeks’ new technical inator exceeds the challenge. The
secret to its reliability is its simplicity. Fewer parts mean less
to go wrong and ease of service. Once you hold the precision
marine brass buttons in your hand, you will quickly realize
that this is not a recreational inator, but rather a serious tool
to meet the dive at hand.
