Multiple Grommets for Nut and Bolt Attachment
TWIN CYLINDER REDUNDANT BUOYANCY CELLS
Twin cylinder buoyancy cells have three grommets
near the top of the center panel and a corresponding
oval grommet near the bottom of the center panel. The
three grommets allow the diver a choice of three height
adjustment settings to achieve proper trim of the cell.
Rather than have the lower bolt line up perfectly with a
lower hole as other brands require, the oval grommet
accommodates bolts that are slightly out of position.
Narrow at Top for Full Access to Valves and Regulators
Apeks buoyancy cells are designed to be slim at the top to allow the diver’s head to tilt back, encourage
proper hose placement and to assure that the diver has easy access to the manifold valves.
Lower Left Pull Dump
Each bladder comes standard with a single lower pull dump. The left front pull dump is for the front bladder
and the right rear pull dump is for the rear bladder. The easy-to-reach dump valves are convenient when
dumping while in a horizontal or inverted position.
Optional Lower Pull Dump
Each bladder cell has an additional threaded manifold. While it comes capped off from the factory, it
gives the diver the option of adding a second pull dump. A dump valve kit is (p/n 42754). The additional
manifold for the front bladder is on the right front side and the additional manifold for the rear bladder
is on the left rear side.
NOTE: In the following description, the term "front" refers to the bladder closest to the diver when
wearing. The term "rear" refers to the bladder furthest away from the diver when wearing.
