Apeks Aluminium Backplate
The Apeks Aluminium Backplate forms the backbone of a modular WTX or WTX-D diving system, delivering strength, versatility, and a clean, streamlined profile underwater. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Apeks Deluxe One-piece Webbed Harness or insert directly into a WTX Harness, this backplate allows divers to configure their setup from a lightweight travel rig to a more technical configuration. Precision engineered and built for durability, the aluminium version offers significant weight savings without compromising structural integrity. It is an ideal choice for travelling divers who want dependable performance in a lighter package.
Apeks Aluminium Backplate Key Features:
- Modular WTX compatibility: Designed to integrate with Apeks WTX and WTX-D harness and wing systems.
- Lightweight construction: Made from 6061 anodised aluminium alloy weighing approximately 753g.
- Single cylinder ready: Four upper and four lower slots allow direct attachment of nylon cylinder bands for enhanced lateral stability.
- Improved cylinder stability: Four-slot design provides better lateral support compared to traditional two-slot plates.
- Adjustable configuration: Three top mounting holes and a lower centre slot allow flexible positioning of wings and cylinders.
- 2-inch crotch strap slot: Compatible with standard technical harness configurations.
- Accessory mounting points: Upper and lower perimeter holes plus bottom mounting holes for additional equipment.
- Premium finish: Electro-plated surface with laser-etched Apeks logo for a clean, professional look.
Built for divers who value modular flexibility and reduced travel weight, the Apeks Aluminium Backplate delivers reliable performance, precise fit options, and long-term durability across a wide range of diving applications.
