The essential service key for safely opening and securing old-generation Apeks XTX second-stage regulators.
 
Ensure smooth and damage-free maintenance during second-stage teardowns with the specialized Apeks XTX cover tool (old model). This premium service tool is custom-engineered to effortlessly assist in the removal and installation of the threaded plastic purge covers on older Apeks XTX models.
 
Using standard pliers or makeshift tools on these regulators frequently scratches the chrome trim or cracks the plastic thread structure. This custom key provides full mechanical contact across the faceplate, spreading the torque evenly to prevent any deformation or aesthetic damage.
 
How It Works:
Flawless Engagement: Simply place the custom-molded side of the tool directly inside the front cover recesses.
Smooth Operation: Rotate the ergonomic outer block counterclockwise to safely open the casing, or clockwise to lock it securely back into place after servicing.
 
Key Features & Specifications:
Targeted Product Range: Explicitly designed to engage with old-model Apeks AP6217 (XTX100 / XTX200), AP6218Y (Yellow octopus), and AP6218 (XTX50) case covers.
OEM Specification Equivalent: Serves as a high-quality alternative to the original Apeks factory tool part number: AT20.
Premium Acetal Construction: Precision-machined entirely from durable white acetal (POM). This non-marring material guarantees a long workshop lifetime without risk of gouging the softer plastics or finishes of the regulator body.
