Apeks Xtx50 hose change

Quite annoyingly you need a slim wrench on the 2nd stage side. Most regular wrenches will be too thick. I have a "17 mm" slim wrench which fits perfectly, but officially it seems to be 11/16"

It is a silly design flaw/feature of an otherwise great performing regulator.

Also available as a set of 3, covering 6 sizes. I forget where I ordered it, probably XS Scuba, maybe Innovative Scuba Concepts.

I just repurposed an old set of tappet wrenches.

An old thick wrench and a grinder

Apeks makes no attempt whatsoever to solve it. I just have to live with it.
