The FT Advanced Open Water Regulator Package draws from Dive Rite's technical roots, for a regulator setup that any diver can appreciate. The FT Advanced Open Water Regulator Package consists of Dive Rite's FT1 High Performance Fixed Turret First Stage, a matched set of XT2 Balanced Second Stages, and a Mini Tech 2" (5cm) Submersible Pressure Gauge (SPG). Along with all of the main components, accessories such as clips and necklaces are included.
The FT1 First Stage's fixed turret design and flat LP and HP ports allow hoses to run straight out from the side of the regulator for more streamlined hose routing. The primary second stage is routed under the divers' arm on a 40" (101.6cm) flex hose with an angled adapter. This routing keeps the hose from flaring out and the longer hose allows for comfortable air sharing in an emergency situation. The backup second stage is on a 22" (55.9cm) flex hose with necklace to be quickly accessed if needed. The high-quality Mini Tech 2" (5cm) Brass SPG is on a 30" (76cm) flex hose with boot and stainless clip to be attached on the waist or chest D-ring for easy viewing. For transporting your FT Advanced Open Water Regulator Package to and from the dive site, a carrying bag is included. Available in Yoke or DIN.
All of the performance and reliability you have come to expect from Dive Rite's XT1 first stage regulators are now available in a sleek, fixed turret design. The FT1 is the perfect first stage for open water, sidemount, or rebreather use. Flat LP and HP ports allow hoses to run straight out from the side of the regulator for more streamlined hose routing. Simple and compact, the FT1 has work of breathing performance on par with the premier regulators on the market. Rugged construction and a new wear resistant Sn-Ni plating mean this regulator will continue to look as good as it performs no matter what you throw at it.
Balanced first stage design maintains consistent IP and gas delivery regardless of depth or tank pressure. Four 3/8-24 UN threaded low-pressure ports and two 7/16-20 UNF/ISO 263 threaded high-pressure ports. All ports are angled 90-degrees from the DIN/Yoke fitting for ideal hose routing. Environmentally sealed to protect against internal corrosion, contaminants, and freezing. Uses industry standard oxygen compatible materials and assembly processes and is suitable for enriched oxygen gas mixtures*.
The balanced diaphragm, black SN-Ni plated marine brass first stage regulator is inherently environmentally sealed. The benefit of this type of first stage design is that none of the delicate internal parts are exposed to contaminants such as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants can cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism deteriorating regulator performance. With the FT1 there is a secondary environmental diaphragm membrane that seals off the spring chamber keeping the first stage completely sealed off from the environment adding a second layer of corrosion resistance and prevention of freezing in cold water use.
*The FT1 is suitable for oxygen use only if precautions are taken. Diver must use oxygen compatible materials, keep the regulator clean from contaminants during assembly and use and open the tank valve slowly.
The XT Regulator welcomes a new generation of regulator performance at Dive Rite. An elite performer, the XT2's advanced, patented design earns top marks from Mike Ward of Dive Lab. With work of breathing at less than 1.0 J/l, the XT1 performs right alongside premier regulators on the market today. The second stage regulator ha an ergonomic dive/pre-dive Venturi lever that is easy to adjust even with thick gloves. The Venturi lever prevents regulator free flow. Second stage uses a pneumatically balanced downstream valve, which provides better performance at depth.
