First Stage R5 TEC - EN250A MILITARY LINE

Balanced diaphragm tactical regulator with dry chamber, LVM marking and ultra-resistant Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating.

The Tecline R5 TEC Military Line First Stage, available on DIR-STORE, is an elite version engineered for tactical, military, and the most extreme exploration dives in any climate scenario, from frozen to tropical waters. Featuring a high-tech matte stealth black finish, this first stage is natively compatible with both open circuit (OC) and closed circuit (CC/Rebreather) systems. It meets and exceeds the stringent requirements of the European standard EN250A for cold water use.

Key Features and Benefits:

• DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Protective Coating: The marine bronze body is coated with an amorphous carbon layer that provides exceptional surface hardness, comparable to that of diamond. This treatment guarantees total protection against deep scratches, impacts, abrasions, and the aggression of chemical agents or salt in the most hostile conditions.
• Specific LVM Marking: Features structured LVM (Low Visual Marking) markings with low visual contrast, ideal for professional use and for maintaining a minimal, technical, and rigorous profile across all equipment.
• Calibrated Outlet Layout (4 LP / 2 HP): Features 4 low-pressure (LP) and 2 high-pressure (HP) outlets strategically angled. This positioning allows hoses to run linearly without kinks or mechanical tension, leaving the space around the valve completely free and accessible.
• Total Dry Chamber and Cold Kit: The balanced diaphragm internal mechanism is completely sealed and isolated from the external environment. This prevents the ingress of water, mud, and ice, maintaining intermediate pressure stability at 9 bar and eliminating the risk of freezing (free-flow) in winter or deep contexts.

Why buy the R5 TEC Military Line first stage?

• Superior strength and durability: The DLC coating is not just an aesthetic full black choice, but a true shield that keeps the regulator looking new even after hundreds of dives in demanding environments such as wrecks, caves, or commercial settings.
• Maximum hose routing cleanliness: The optimized orientation of the HP and LP ports makes your equipment configuration visually clean, hydrodynamic, and perfectly in line with the dictates of technical and exploratory diving.
• Stable performance everywhere: Calibrated with a constant intermediate pressure of 9 bar, it offers extremely smooth and instantaneous air delivery, whether you are exploring a frozen alpine lake or engaged in a long decompression in warm waters.
