Apeks 1st Stages

[ScoobieDooo]

I'm confused by Apek's catalog. How many 1st stages are there and whats the diff between them. I see a couple of diff versions on the ATX100, ATX50 , etc.

HOW many models of 1st stages does APEKS make?

Whats the YOKE models?

I know of four models. However they are almost identical inside. Mainly external differences. Apexs offers each first stage in eithor Dinn or yoke configuration.

US4 - 4 x 3/8" LP port, 1 x 7/16" HP port
UST - 1 x 1/2" LP port, 3 x 3/8" LP port, 2 x 7/16" HP port, swivel, aka T20, AT20

Sealed regs:

DS1 - 1 x 3/8" LP port, 1 x 7/16" HP port
DS4 - 4 x 3/8" LP port, 4 x 7/16" HP port
DST - 1 x 1/2" LP port, 3 x 3/8" LP port, 2 x 7/16" HP port, swivel, aka TX40/50, ATX40/50
TX100 - 1 x 1/2" LP port, 3 x 3/8" LP port, 2 x 7/16" HP port
ATX100 - 1 x 1/2" LP port, 3 x 3/8" LP port, 2 x 7/16" HP port, satin

Now that'll work! Thanks!

 

[Scubaroo]

Oh yeah, and most if not all of these are available in either yoke or DIN fitting - that's the style of fitting used to attach the regulator to the tank.

Made an edit to the above - forgot the UST.

Hi its reasonably simple once you know the british thought patterns:

US-unsealed
DS-drysealed
T---turret
!---1port
4---4 ports.

now permutate all the codes and you get

US1 Unsealed with 1 LP port
US4 Unsealed with 4 LP ports
DST Drysealed with a turret 4 LP + 2 HP
DS4 Drysealed no turret but 4 LP ports +2HP

HP ports are all 7/16" unf
LP ports are 1 off 1/2"unf + 3 off 3/8"unf

hope that helps

Brian,

Thanks for that explanation. The numbering system has driven me crazy until you laid it out on the table.
