Miflex Xtreme LP Regulator Diving Hose Yellow

MIFLEX 2 SpA, based in Villasanta (Monza-Brianza, Italy), runs every Xtreme LP hose through more than 30 individual quality checks before leaving the production line. The yellow Xtreme LP with 1/2" UNF male first-stage connection addresses a specific requirement among technical and sidemount divers running regulators with a 1/2" UNF low-pressure port — a thread size found on select Apeks and Mares first stages. The high-visibility Mellow Yellow colour enables rapid identification in multi-hose configurations, a practical advantage in wreck and cave diving where hose management and gas routing are safety-critical.

Applications

The Xtreme LP yellow 1/2" UNF hose suits advanced recreational and technical divers using a first stage with a 1/2" UNF low-pressure port, including specific Apeks (TX100, MTX-R) and Mares models. It handles twin-set configurations, sidemount rigs, cave diving and wreck diving where precise hose routing and gas management matter. Air, Nitrox and oxygen compatibility makes it suitable for decompression diving and closed-circuit rebreather supplies.

Key features

• 1/2" UNF fitting — direct compatibility with Apeks and Mares first stages using non-standard 1/2" UNF thread
• Mellow Yellow colour for instant hose identification in sidemount and twin-set configurations
• UV-resistant nylon outer braid: service life up to 3 times longer than conventional diving hoses
• Kink-proof design: can be tied into a tight knot with continuous airflow maintained
• Burst pressure exceeds 250 bar: safety margin more than double that of conventional hoses
• Mechanically crimped chrome-plated brass fittings: superior pull-out resistance and saltwater corrosion protection versus slip-on sleeves

Certifications and reliability

The MIFLEX Xtreme LP yellow hose meets EN 250 (open-circuit self-contained diving apparatus) with production standards that exceed the norm's requirements. Each hose carries visible MIFLEX branding on the fittings — product traceability marking mandated by EN 250. Manufactured by MIFLEX 2 SpA (Villasanta, Italy) on an automated production line with more than 30 individual checks per unit.
