Atomic Z2 Sealed Piston Regulator: Uncompromising Performance and Durability for Every Dive

The Atomic Z2 Sealed Piston Regulator stands out as a top-tier choice for divers seeking exceptional performance, reliability, and longevity without breaking the bank. This meticulously engineered regulator combines Atomic Aquatics' renowned design principles with a focus on durability and ease of use, making it a valuable addition to any diver's gear bag.   

At its core, the Z2 features a balanced flow-through piston first stage. This design ensures consistent intermediate pressure delivery to the second stage, regardless of tank pressure. This translates to smooth and effortless breathing at all depths, enhancing diver comfort and safety. The first stage also incorporates Atomic's exclusive Jet Seat high-flow piston, known for its exceptional reliability and resistance to wear.   

A key feature that sets the Z2 apart is its factory-sealed first stage. This crucial design element prevents environmental contaminants such as silt, sand, and salt water from entering the delicate internal components. This sealing not only prolongs the life of the regulator, but also significantly reduces the need for frequent servicing, saving divers time and money in the long run. This makes the Z2 an excellent choice for divers who frequently explore challenging environments.   

The second stage of the Z2 is a balanced linear flow design, contributing to its remarkably easy breathing characteristics. Constructed with a zirconium-plated brass demand valve body and a titanium lever and sealing orifice, the second stage is built to withstand the rigors of frequent diving and resist corrosion. The high-quality silicone rubber diaphragm further enhances its durability and responsiveness.   

Incorporating Atomic's patented Automatic Flow Control (AFC), the Z2 second stage automatically adjusts the airflow to provide optimal breathing resistance at any depth. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments during the dive, allowing divers to focus entirely on their underwater experience. For specific situations like strong currents or alternate air source use, a soft over-molded rapid adjustment knob is readily accessible.   

The Atomic Z2 is also Nitrox ready for mixtures up to 40% out of the box, providing versatility for divers exploring enriched air options. The first stage is equipped with two high-pressure (HP) 7/16" ports and seven low-pressure (LP) 3/8" ports, offering ample connections for various accessories.
