Zeagle regs

[keyshunter]

Now that Zeagle is under the Huish umbrella, do they still produce regulators in the US, or produce regs at all?

subscribed to this one, curious as well since they also own atomic

All Zeagle Regulators are still assembled here in America. With Huish taking over, Atomic and Zeagle Regs now come straight from Costa Mesa. As of right now, I have heard of no plans to discontinue any of the regulator models from Zeagle. They have produced the F8 second stage which appears to be a marriage between Zeagle and Atomic.

when did Zeagle stop machining in Fl?

This is interesting:

The 2014 design improvements for all Zeagle regulators results in a suite of components available to upgrade ANY Zeagle reg ever made. Now Zeagle regulator owners have the ability to improve performance and eliminate leaking or hissing second stages due to older technology parts.


High-Performance Upgrade Kit includes the following second stage parts:

• New polished Stainless Steel orifice with mirror-polished end detail.
• New low-pressure second stage seat for improved cracking effort that dramatically extends the seat life.
• New poppet for improved tolerances and performance.
• New Atomic Super Alloy spring and new balance chamber prevents spring binding for improved performance.

I'm interested. All my 1st stages are Zeagle.

I'm interested. All my 1st stages are Zeagle.

Hopefully its not just a case of one-upsmanship. (kidding, kidding). I'm going to try one.....or five.

HIGH POINTS

• WHAT - Relocation of Zeagle regulator production to Costa Mesa
• WHEN - Production in CA began in July 2014
• WHERE – Atomic Aquatics plant Costa Mesa, California from Zephyrhills, FL
• WHY - Allows the highly-specialized Atomic regulator team to supervise, monitor and improve Zeagle regulator product quality. Also, Zephyrhills is too hard to spell.
• WHO - Jeff Trentini, Samer Kahlil, Dean Garraffa, Doug Toth, Chantrea Huy

Anyone know when the ZF8 and the high performance upgrade kit are coming out?

Zeagle addressed the binding shuttles early on, and the orifice was changed from plastic to stainless a few years ago.

Are the "new" seconds going to incorporate the Atomic seat saver? Also. has there been a cosmetic change so that one can distinguish between the Zeagle Zeagle regs from the Huish Zeagle regs?
