Zeagle F8 DIN Regulator with F8 Octopus

- Zeagle F8 DIN Regulator -
Zeagle introduces a new flagship regulator model with a completely new platform second stage design. The F8 name is derived from the well-established Zeagle Flathead series regulators. Totally new design, Zeagle's best performing regulator ever with more than 20 new improvements. Zeagle's regulators are US made, built under strict controls for quality in Zeagle's own factory, using state of the art equipment and procedures. Your regulator is one of your most important pieces of gear. No matter what kind of diving you do, you can do it better with Zeagle. The F8 is very low in profile, barely extending above the tank valve, and places the low-pressure hoses directly out to the sides, in a pattern preferred by many divers. The F8 Regulator is set for yoke valves.

The all black chrome plated marine brass first stage regulator is a balanced diaphragm design which is environmentally sealed. The diaphragm membrane transmits the pressure changes to the internal mechanism eliminating the need for the surrounding water to enter the intricate mechanism. The benefit of this type of first stage design is that none of the internal parts are exposed to contaminants such as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism deteriorating regulator performance.

Zeagle's conical precision stainless steel high-pressure valve and advanced polymer seat provide much greater reliability and service life compared to conventional designs, while improving responsiveness and Performance at all Breathing Rates. With high performance porting in a balanced diaphragm design with dry environment seal, makes this one clean regulator first stage that will give you years of corrosion free service. The F8 Regulator has an internal structure that allows for direct airflow through the 1st stage, providing outstanding performance. First Stage is equipped with 2 high pressure (HP) 7/16" threaded ports and 5 low pressure (LP) 3/8" threaded ports for mounting of gauges and additional accessory items such as inflator Hose and octopus regulator.

Zeagle's F8 Second Stage is lightweight, compact and comfortable, with diver adjustable resistance controls, free-flow control, and built-in anti-freezing features. Specific design changes have created a regulator that is resistant to free-flow on the surface, yet has incredible smoothness and ease of breathing underwater. This pneumatically balance downstream demand valve second stage regulator is manufactured from flexible thermoplastic, thermoplastic, elastomeric, polymer and silicone rubber. The F8 Second Stage has a new case design that is smaller, lighter and molded from high impact resistant materials than its predecessor. New case snap-in insert near mouthpiece allows you to personalize your F8 for color style. New front cover design with anti-surge and ha a new stylized Z" logo regulator second stage ha a new smaller mouthpiece with super soft silicone and color accented tear resistant Bite" lugs. New exhaust valve with improved dryness and lower exhalation effort. New inhalation effort control knob for better grip and style.

What else is new! The F8 has a new threaded cover ring for improved safety and new heat sink with improved materials and greater surface area to dissipate cold. New zirconium plated inlet tube for increased corrosion resistance, new inhalation diaphragm with improved response and tear strength and a newly redesigned poppet with improved tolerances. The F8 has a patented seat saving orifice, new low pressure second stage seat and a new second stage spring made from super alloy. The Standard Hose measures 30" (76cm) and is 3/8" threaded. The complete regulator weighs approximately 2.56 lbs. (1,161 g) with the hose comes with a comprehensive owner's manual, and is Nitrox ready to 40% out of the box.

- Zeagle F8 Octopus with Hose -
Conveniently lightweight, while being designed for high performance, the Zeagle F8 Octopus with Hose is a top of the line second stage pneumatically balanced downstream demand valve second stage regulator with free flow control and built in anti-freezing features from Zeagle that offers superior comfort, ease of use, and performance, complemented by an attractive design.

The Zeagle F8 Octopus optimizes comfort utilizing a new inhalation diaphragm that provides superior tear strength and improved response time to breathing. An improved exhaust valve ensures dryness and a lower exhalation effort, while a redesigned front cover and inhalation effort control knob use co-molded components that provide the necessary grip, soft touch and ease of use. Co-molded silicone mouthpiece provides a better fit and less jaw fatigue for long term comfort. Durability and long life also have been enhanced using a seat-saving orifice, compliments of Atomic Aquatics, that retracts when not in use, extending the life of the breathing tube seat. The Zirconium-plated inlet tube and heat sink provides superior corrosion resistance, while a redesigned heat sink significantly increases surface area, aiding in the heat exchange necessary to avoid freeze-up.

The Zeagle F8 Octopus is manufactured from flexible and ridged thermoplastic, elastomeric, polymer and silicone rubber, with Buna-N O-rings and is designed to be impact resistant for durability and rugged use. It makes a for perfect combination with the Zeagle F8 regulator, and represents the standard upon which other regulators and octopuses will be judged on. Octopus comes with a 36" (91.4cm) yellow 3/8" threaded hose.
