First Stage V1 ICE - EN250A MILITARY LINE

Asymmetric balanced diaphragm tactical regulator, with V-shaped hose routing, LVM marking, and ultra-durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating.

The Tecline V1 ICE Military Line First Stage, available at DIR-STORE, is an elite regulator with a revolutionary geometry, specifically designed to meet the rigorous operational standards of Special Forces and rescue teams. Thanks to its exclusive "V"-shaped port arrangement, it offers hose routing natively optimized for use with downstream valves, perfectly adapting to both open-circuit (OC) and closed-circuit (CC/Rebreather) configurations. Protected by the black stealth DLC technological finish, it far exceeds the requirements of the European standard EN250A:2014 for diving in cold and extreme waters.

Availability Note: Tecline Military range products are designed for professional and governmental use; their availability on the civilian market is strictly linked to surpluses from military production batches.

Key Features and Benefits:

• "V" Geometry and 360° Positioning: The asymmetric design allows the first stage to be oriented and positioned at any angle relative to the cylinder. This ensures perfect and hydrodynamic hose routing, reducing bulk behind the neck, improving trim, and leaving the valves completely free for emergency maneuvers.
• Professional DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Coating: The marine bronze body is coated with a layer of amorphous carbon that provides exceptional surface hardness, similar to that of diamond. This treatment ensures total protection against scratches, abrasions, violent impacts, and salt corrosion in the most hostile operational scenarios.
• LVM Anti-Reflective Masking System: Developed for the tactical needs of special forces, the regulator's surface does not reflect light. All structural markings use the low-contrast LVM (Low Visibility Marking) system, making them invisible from a distance.
• Symmetrical Ports (4 LP / 2 HP): It features 4 low-pressure ports and 2 high-pressure ports arranged symmetrically. This configuration allows for optimal use even on side-mounted cylinders (stage/deco or sidemount) attached indiscriminately to the diver's right or left side.
• Total Cold Isolation (Dry Chamber + ICE Kit): The balanced diaphragm mechanism is completely sealed. It prevents the entry of ice water, mud, or sediment, maintaining stable intermediate pressure at 9 bar and eliminating the risk of freezing (free-flow) in both arctic and tropical waters.

Why buy the V1 ICE Military Line first stage?

• Unbeatable for Special Forces and Rebreathers: Designed to work in harmony with closed-circuit systems and downstream valves, it offers assembly ergonomics and flow cleanliness that are unmatched on the market.
• Total Use Flexibility and O2 Preparedness: Can be configured on single cylinders, complex technical systems, or stage cylinders. Furthermore, the structure and materials allow the regulator to be adapted to operate safely with high percentages of oxygen.
• Authentic Robustness and Tactical Profile: This is not a commercial replica, but an elite component made to real military specifications, built to last and maintain extraordinary breathing performance in all conditions.
