Can anyone let me know where this fits in Apeks line I assume it takes standard Apeks parts kits??
Zeagle Zrd looks like a crossbred Apeks

Went to Apeks site looks like DST unsealed
The Z-RD regulator was one of the models made for Zeagle by Apeks. Zeagle still has parts kits for them that dealers can install. See www.zeagle.com for a list.
It is a model that has an environmentally sealed, non swivel 1st stage and a venturi adjustable 2nd stage.
Zeagle now makes their own regulators, since about late 2000.

There should be no difference in service, but you cannot use CURRENT Zeagle reg parts to service the Apeks regs - they are a different set of parts!!!

There is very little difference in the current parts kits except for the improved conical hp seat which zeagle improved on. The older regs will take Apeks kits as they were the same exact regs back then.

resque009,
A little better way to state it would be "there are many similarities in the current Zeagle made parts kits and the Apeks made kits, except for the HP seat."
But as Scott stated, and you well know, "They are a different set of parts!!!"
(In reality only the 0011 and 0012 port plug o-rings could be interchanged.)
As service techs we have a tendancy to compare similarities in regulators. In looking more closely at the rest of the first stage many more differences are apparent. Removable conical HP valve, inverted and conical filters on yoke models too, and polymer diaphragm clamp rings and DIN wheels are the most noticeable.
BTW, thanks for calling the seat/HP valve design an improvement, we think so too!
