The Apeks XTX second stages (XTX40, XTX50, XTX200) are a reversible design that can be converted from a standard right-hand hose inlet configuration to an uncommon left-hand configuration. However, the Apeks distribution center in the US does not stock the XTX series reversable second stages from the factory in the left-hand configuration. Apeks describes the process of converting the regulator to a left-handed hose inlet as both quick and simple, however they recommend this be done by a technician trained to service Apeks products.

Because we do the reconfiguration in our facility using our Apeks technician, there is a small increase to the price of the Apeks XTX series standard second stage to cover the cost of converting and testing the now left-hand second stage prior to shipping. If you want to learn about what is involved, you can read the Apeks technician instructions at Converting the XTX Regulator to Left Handed Configuration.
