Recall on Apeks ATX Regulators

[Savitar]

This was just brought to my attention, and I wanted to share the info, please correct me if I'm inappropriate to this forum.

Apeks - 9 November 2001
A number of the new ATX regulators produced in September/ October 2001, have a potentially
serious defect.The problem is related to the 2nd stage front cover of the ATX100, ATX200 and all
ATX fluorescent yellow octopus regulators, this includes the Stage Three sets.
Your local Apeks dealer / distributor has been informed of the situation and you should take
your regulator to them immediately for inspection. The serial numbers of the regulators that may be
affected fall between 109 0001 and 110 2580.

This was new-news to me today.

I've got ADHD, and as such, impetuous.

Next time, I'll do a search, before I put my foot in my mouth. :whoa:


Happy days,

I wouldn't sweat it, Savitar... it's a safety issue and as such bears posting a few times. Indeed, you may have helped someone who didn't see the original.

I've been in contact with my local Sea-Quest rep and have been told that ATX regs distributed in the USA are NOT part of the recall. Only those sold in Europe. So if you bought yours from that mail-order place in Spain, you have a problem.
