Second Stage Octopus
Lightweight Flexible Hose
The Flight hose is manufactured at the Apeks factory. The hose material itself features an external nylon safety braiding designed to resist snagging and
abrasion. The double braiding resists UV rays out of the water, thus extending the life of the hose.
The hose is lightweight and extremely flexible but is also strong with a burst pressure more than twice that of most traditional hoses. It is kink-resistant.
Even if the hose were tied in a knot the gas flow would remain unobstructed. The unique, secure attachment of the second stage to the hose offers a "no-tool" fitting and a more environmental solution. No tools mean that it is impossible for a technician to over-tighten and damage the fitting as is possible with other hose-nut
connections that require tightening with a spanner.
This regulator?s unique hose attachment enables Flight to be as lightweight as it can be and utilises the advanced composite materials used in other areas
of the regulator. This reduces the need for brass and chrome plating in this area of the regulator, which in turn reduces production waste and the need for the
treatment of harmful chemicals which are produced from the chrome plating process.
