Description
The V1 ICE TEC2 regulator performs well both in laboratory tests and in real diving conditions. The V1 ICE first stage is a balanced diaphragm design with a dry chamber that seals the working diaphragm and prevents freezing in cold water; this protection is also an advantage in heavily silted water. It is made of marine brass with a high-quality frosted chrome finish. Its breathing performance exceeds the requirements of the latest EN 250A standard and gives smooth breathing in all conditions. The streamlined configuration works with single or twin tanks: the hoses can be stowed neatly along the tank and deployed to full length when needed, and the head-up design gives a better position in the water.
The TEC2 second stage is a downstream demand valve with venturi and breathing resistance adjustment. A heat exchanger reduces the risk of icing in cold water, and a breathing resistance of about 1 J/l makes breathing easier and helps reduce air consumption. TecLine regulators are trialled in demanding conditions from icy Polish lakes to caves and tropical waters, and after assembly and tuning every regulator is checked by two independent technicians. Suitable for nitrox up to EAN40 (40% O2).
