First Stage R2 TEC - EN250A MILITARY LINE

Balanced diaphragm tactical regulator with 360° swivel turret, axial fifth LP port, LVM marking and HBC protective coating.

The Tecline R2 TEC Military Line First Stage with 5th LP port, available at DIR-STORE, represents the pinnacle of versatility applied to tactical and exploration operations. Developed in strict accordance with the technical specifications of special forces and rescue teams, this model combines the advantages of a rotating turret with a pre-installed axial low-pressure fifth outlet on the head. Protected by the exclusive smooth black finish with very high resistance HBC, it far exceeds the requirements of the recent European standard EN250A:2014 for use in cold water.

Availability note: Tecline Military products are designed for professional purposes; their availability on the civilian market is strictly linked to surpluses from military production batches.

Main Features and Benefits:

• 360° Swivel Turret with 5th LP Port Included: The presence of the axial fifth LP port (located on the turret head) allows for a revolutionary hose routing free of any forced bends. It is the definitive configuration for optimizing hose routing in complex systems, facilitating direct rebreather feeding or the positioning of second stages in sidemount.
• HBC (Hard Black Coating) Protective Coating: The marine bronze body is treated with an extremely hard and smooth opaque black shielding. This coating reduces hydrodynamic friction, resists deep scratches, violent impacts and the corrosive action of chemicals and salt in the most severe environmental conditions.
• LVM (Low Visibility Marking) Masking System: In line with the operational needs of special forces, the markings on the regulator body are made with low visual contrast, eliminating reflections and maintaining a stealth and minimalist aesthetic profile.
• Total Dry Anti-freezing Sealed Chamber: The balanced diaphragm mechanism is completely sealed and protected from the external environment. This insulation prevents the entry of freezing water, mud or debris, eliminating the risk of free-flow in winter or under-ice conditions.

Why buy the R2 TEC Military Line first stage with 5th port?

• The undisputed king of Sidemount and Stages: The combination of the swivel turret and the axial LP port allows the hoses to run perfectly parallel to the cylinder body and the diver's torso, ensuring an exceptional hydrodynamic profile and always accessible valves.
• Total OC/CC Flexibility: Whether you choose to configure it on a technical twinset, on a closed circuit system (Rebreather) or on a single cylinder, this regulator adapts natively always offering maximum performance and reduced breathing effort.
• Robustness and collectible value: As real military specifications, you are buying an elite component designed never to fail, characterized by significantly superior durability compared to commercial standards.
