Dive Rite FT Open Water Regulator Package

Product Overview

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.

The second stage has an external adjustment knob to adjust the valve to fine tune inhalation effort. The second stage housing is manufactured from durable impact resistant ABS plastic with chromed brass adjustment knob and barrel tube. The yellow second stage cover is durable impact resistant ABS plastic and the black cover is carbon fiber. The spring and lever are stainless-steel and the second stage comes standard with Teflon coated internal parts, which makes it cold-water ready. The second stage regulator is available in a right or left-hand configuration for hose routing and dive equipment set-up requirements. The XT2 Second-Stage is Nitrox ready out of the box.

Included in the package are a Dive Rite's Regulator Necklace that takes a new twist on a tool that technical divers have used for years to keep the back-up regulator stowed under the chin. Made from standard 3/16" (4.75mm) bungee, the regulator necklace is a simple alternative to making your own. The necklace weighs 0.8 oz. (23 g) and is made in the U.S.A. High flow angle adapter attaches between the regulator second stage and its low-pressure hose, routing the hose down the diver's chest and/or under the arm. This increases comfort and streamlining. This low-profile adapter is not an Omni-Directional swivel and so it maintains its angle and will not allow the regulator to flop around. Adapter weighs 1.8 oz. (51 g). Dive Rite's Small Swivel Bolt Snap are made of marine grade 316-stainless steel. For complete details on swivel bolt see SKU: DIV1025. If you don't have the time or patience for tying knots then, the Hose Clip Retainer is the solution. For complete details on Hose Clip Retainer see SKU: DIV2019.

A clean, black and white face means the Mini Tech SPG is easy-to-read. This gauge has a 2" (5.1cm) diameter with a 1.75" (4.45cm) face. A Bourdon tube gauge, the Tech SPG is calibrated to 5000-psi in 100-psi increments for the highest level of accuracy. A tempered glass face is impact and scratch resistant, while the luminescent dial makes it easier to read in low light situations. Comes standard 7/16" threaded high-pressure hose and impact resistant rubber gauge boot with eyelets for attachment to lanyard or clip. The Mini Tech SPG is suitable for oxygen service and is CE approved.

To stow your regulator system the package includes Dive Rite Regulator. The bag's padded walls help to protect your regulator investments from the bumps & bangs of dive gear life while the 600-denier polyester outer shell shields them from the elements. A front zippered compartment is the ideal place to keep spare O-rings or dust caps. With a total volume of 600 cubic inches (9.8 liters), the Regulator Bag can easily fit a full side mount or doubles regulator package with room to spare. Bag measures 15" x 8" x 6" (38.1cm x 20.3cm x 15.2cm).
