Apeks WTX Stainless Steel Back Plate

The backbone of any system - this cleverly designed back plate can be used with the webbed harness or inserted into the WTX Harness. Made of 316 stainless steel. Weighs approx 5 lbs (2.2 kg). Textured, electro-plate finish and a laser-etched Apeks logo round out the look of the plate.

• 4 each upper and lower slots accommodate nylon cylinder bands so a single cylinder can be strapped directly to the plate. Having a series of 4 slots provides lateral stability of the cylinder that traditional 2 slot plates cannot.

• 3 holes at the top of the plate offer a range of height adjustments for the buoyancy cells and the cylinders. In addition, lower center slot allows for lower band bolts that are misaligned.

• 2” wide crotch strap slot.

• Upper and lower perimeter holes along either side and holes along the bottom allow for the mounting of accessories.

Apeks WTX3 Buoyancy Cell

This single cylinder buoyancy cell can mate to the WTX Harness or directly to the back plate.

• Gussets along each side allow full 32 lbs of lift without compromising overall size of WTX3.

• 4 slots allow mounting to a WTX harness or back plate using upper and lower cylinder bands.

• 2 pairs of grommets allow the WTX3 to be bolted on if a single cylinder mounting kit is used.

• A 2” wide restriction band at the bottom of the WTX3 allows the cylinder to nestle into the inflated buoyancy cell so it doesn’t get pushed away from your body.

• 2” D-ring on restrictor band is a convenient place to add accessories like marker buoys.

• The airway comes off the top back center of the cell. A safety cable inside the elliptical hose prevents hyperextension of the corrugated hose.
