Introducing Zeagle's new flagship regulator model, the F8, which takes its name from the well-established Flathead series. This US-made regulator showcases over 20 new improvements, making it Zeagle's best-performing regulator yet. Designed for all types of diving, the F8's low-profile design minimizes its extension above the tank valve and directs low-pressure hoses to the sides for optimal hose routing. It's compatible with yoke valves.<bR><bR>The F8's first stage is a black chrome plated marine brass, environmentally sealed, balanced diaphragm design. This ensures that no internal parts are exposed to contaminants like salt, sand, or chlorine, resulting in corrosion-free service for years. Its conical precision stainless steel high-pressure valve and advanced polymer seat provide enhanced reliability, service life, and performance at all breathing rates.<bR>The first stage features direct airflow, 2 high-pressure (HP) 7/16" threaded ports, and 5 low-pressure (LP) 3/8" threaded ports for gauges and additional accessories. The second stage is lightweight, compact, and comfortable, with adjustable resistance controls, free-flow control, and built-in anti-freezing features. It's manufactured from flexible thermoplastic, elastomeric polymer, and silicone rubber. The second stage also features a new case design that is smaller, lighter, and more impact-resistant.<bR>Additional updates include a new heat sink for improved cold dissipation, a zirconium-plated inlet tube for increased corrosion resistance, and an improved inhalation diaphragm. The F8 also has a patented seat-saving orifice, a new low-pressure second stage seat, and a super alloy second stage spring. The standard hose is 30" (76cm) long and 3/8" threaded. The complete regulator weighs approximately 41 oz. (1,161 g) with the hose, includes an owner's manual, and is Nitrox ready up to 40% out of the box.
