Sidemount Regulator Set R2 TEC2

The top-of-the-range Sidemount system based on the pair of R2 TEC first stages with balanced diaphragm, 360° swivel turret, and 5th axial port. Paired with the balanced TEC2 second stages featuring DFS, it ensures ultra-clean hose routing, Dry Chamber protection for cold water, and excellent fluid dynamic performance. Customize the hose configuration from the dropdown menu.

The Tecline R2 TEC2 Sidemount Set, available at DIR-STORE, represents the highest level of performance for side-mounted cylinders.

The architecture of the R2 TEC first stages combines a sealed dry chamber (Dry Chamber) — ideal against freezing and sediment — with the versatility of a 360° swivel turret equipped with a 5th axial LP port. This layout allows for parallel hose routing along the cylinders, eliminating forced bends. The black TEC2 second stages, pneumatically balanced with DFS (Direct Flow System) and an integrated heat exchanger, guarantee exceptionally smooth and natural delivery at any depth.

Key Features for Sidemount:

2x R2 TEC Dry Chamber First Stages (Balanced Diaphragm / DIN 300 bar):

• Antifreeze & Dry Chamber Protection: Isolates internal mechanisms from water and sediment, perfect for demanding dives and cold water.
• Optimized Sidemount Layout: 360° swivel turret with 5 LP ports (including the 5th axial on the head) and 2 symmetrical HP ports for hydrodynamic and parallel hose routing.

2x TEC2 Black Second Stages (Top-of-the-Range Balanced):

• Pneumatic Balancing & DFS System: Optimizes gas flow within the casing, eliminating inspiratory effort.
• Dual Micrometric Control: Equipped with a knob for adjusting the initial inspiratory effort and a Venturi lever to prevent accidental free-flow when the cylinder is not in use.
• Reversible and Ergonomic Casing: High-strength construction with a stainless steel front ring.

Hose Geometry and Included Sidemount Accessories:

• Regulator Hose Configuration: 1.93 m long hose for the primary and 0.65 m short hose for the backup second stage under the chin.
• 90° LP Swivel: Mounted on the secondary second stage for ergonomic and tension-free positioning at the mouth.
