High-performance balanced diaphragm regulator, with sealed chamber and optimized port placement for single and twin tank configurations.
The Tecline R5 TEC First Stage, available at DIR-STORE, is a top-tier regulator designed for the most demanding divers who compromise nothing on reliability and breathing comfort. Engineered with a robust body and millimeter-precise port placement, this model ensures extremely clean and hydrodynamic hose routing. It significantly exceeds the stringent requirements of European standard EN250A for cold water diving, offering stable performance even in extreme environmental conditions.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Balanced Diaphragm Mechanism: Ensures incredibly smooth, consistent, and effortless air delivery at any depth, regardless of the residual pressure in the tanks.
-
Total Dry Sealed Chamber (Cold Water Kit): Completely isolates internal components and the main spring from direct contact with external water and sediment. Together with the dedicated cooling kit, it eliminates the risk of free-flow in winter or deep underwater environments.
-
Optimized Port Allocation: Features 4 low-pressure (LP) ports and 2 high-pressure (HP) ports strategically angled. This layout allows hoses to run linearly without kinks or mechanical stress, leaving space clear around the manifold.
-
Marine Bronze Structure: With a solid weight of 813g, the body is entirely made of marine-grade bronze to ensure excellent thermal conductivity, combined with superior structural resistance against impacts and salt corrosion.
Why buy the R5 TEC first stage?
-
Maximum technical and recreational versatility: Performs excellently both as a primary configuration on a technical twin tank setup and for managing an advanced recreational single tank system, adapting to your diving growth.
-
Effortless hose routing: The carefully designed placement of HP and LP ports makes your equipment configuration visually clean, hydrodynamic, and in line with the dictates of technical and exploratory diving.
-
Total reliability in severe conditions: It is the ideal choice if you regularly dive in cold water, lakes, or deep walls, where perfect thermal insulation makes a difference in terms of safety.
