The Dive Rite XT1 First Stage Regulator is a high-performance balanced first stage designed for recreational, advanced, and technical diving configurations. Its balanced design provides consistent gas delivery as depth and cylinder pressure change, while a rotating turret and multiple hose ports give divers extensive flexibility when building a clean, streamlined regulator setup.
The XT1 is constructed from brass with a durable black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating and is environmentally sealed to help protect internal components from contaminants, corrosion, and freezing conditions. Five low-pressure ports are positioned around the swivel turret, while two high-pressure ports are angled 90 degrees from the DIN or yoke connection for efficient gauge and transmitter routing. The XT1 is available with either a DIN or yoke cylinder connection.
The XT1 provides five low-pressure ports around a rotating turret, giving divers flexibility when positioning second-stage, inflator, and other compatible LP hoses. The two high-pressure ports are angled 90 degrees from the DIN or yoke connection to help position pressure gauges or compatible wireless transmitters without unnecessary hose clutter.
Choose the connection style that matches your cylinder-valve setup. The DIN version threads directly into a compatible DIN valve, while the yoke version clamps over a compatible yoke-style cylinder valve. Only the selected connection configuration is included.
The XT regulator system is designed for use with breathable compressed gas appropriate for scuba diving. Dive Rite also states that oxygen-compatible materials and assembly processes are used throughout the XT system, allowing use with oxygen-enriched mixtures when appropriate oxygen-clean procedures, materials, handling practices, and cylinder-opening procedures are followed. No specific maximum oxygen percentage should be assumed beyond the manufacturer's applicable guidance for the complete regulator configuration.
The XT1 is environmentally sealed to help protect against internal contamination and freezing. Cold-water suitability depends on the complete regulator configuration and its applicable EN250 markings. Divers using regulators in cold water should follow Dive Rite's cold-water procedures and have the appropriate training for those conditions.
Is the Dive Rite XT1 balanced?
Yes. The XT1 uses a balanced first-stage design intended to provide consistent gas delivery as depth and cylinder pressure change.
How many low-pressure ports does the XT1 have?
The XT1 has five low-pressure ports positioned around a swivel turret for flexible hose routing.
How many high-pressure ports are included?
There are two high-pressure ports, each angled 90 degrees from the cylinder connection for convenient gauge or transmitter positioning.
Does the first stage swivel?
Yes. The five low-pressure ports are incorporated into a rotating turret that allows hoses to be positioned for a cleaner regulator configuration.
Is the XT1 environmentally sealed?
Yes. The environmental seal helps protect the first-stage mechanism from contaminants, corrosion, and conditions that can contribute to freezing.
Can I choose DIN or yoke?
Yes. The XT1 is available in DIN and yoke configurations. You will receive the connection style selected when ordering.
Does this listing include a second stage?
No. This listing is for the XT1 first stage only unless a complete regulator package is specifically stated elsewhere.
Rinse the regulator thoroughly with fresh water after diving while keeping the first-stage inlet protected from water and debris. Allow it to dry completely before storage and keep the regulator in a cool, clean, dry location away from prolonged direct sunlight. Dive Rite recommends professional regulator service at least every two years or 100 dives by an authorized regulator technician.
The XT1 is especially appealing to divers who care about hose routing. Five LP ports on a swivel turret combined with two angled HP ports provide considerably more configuration flexibility than a basic fixed-port first stage. That makes the XT1 well suited for streamlined recreational setups as well as more complex technical configurations where hose positioning can make a significant difference in comfort and organization.
