APEKS WTX-D BUOYANCY CELLS
Oval Grommets for Dual Cylinder Bands
Each buoyancy cell incorporates four oval slots. These
allow the buoyancy cell to be mated directly to the WTX
harness, WTX backplate or ultralight plate with the use of
two universal or GripLock™ cylinder bands.
To complement your harness, Apeks manufactures an 18 lb, 30 lb and 40 lb single cylinder
buoyancy cell. The buoyancy cell’s flow-through design allows for a more even distribution of air
compared to more traditional buoyancy cells. The bladder and outer bag are constructed from a
rugged, fade-resistant material. A urethane coating on the bladder and outer bag prevents excess
water retention, allowing water to bead right off.
Multiple Metal Grommets for Book Screw Kit
Each buoyancy cell has two sets of central metal grommets
that give you the option of mounting book screws. These
may be used to secure the WTX harness, WTX backplate
or ultralight plate to the buoyancy cell, preventing excessive
movement between the two components.
• WTX harness use 3/4” book screw kit (PN 388113,
sold separately).
• Ultralight plate and WTX backplate use 3/8” book
screw kit (PN 388112, sold separately).
Side Panels for Additional Lift Capacity
Side panels allow the buoyancy cell to expand and provide additional lift capacity without increasing
the overall size.
Tank Stabilizer
Each buoyancy cell comes with a tank stabilizer located
between the oval grommets. This feature prevents the
tank from rolling side to side, allowing it to stay in its
intended position.
CAUTION: Please note that the 18 lb, 30 lb and 40 lb buoyancy cells are for use with
single cylinders only and are not intended to be used with twin cylinders.
