First
stage
The
V16 first stage offers a perfect combination of technology,
style and ergonomics.
The balanced diaphragm design features the highly innovative
SCS (Spherical Core Seal) valve closure system.
The poppet shuts off the flow of air by means of an extremely
durable titanium hemisphere, unassailable by oil or grease.
Performance is assured by the DFC system.
The brand new yoke is the ultimate expression of a perfect
design, produced using state-of-the-art CAD systems for
development and structural analysis.
Attention to detail is expressed in the new "soft grip"
dual material knob, which, in addition to providing a distinctive
look, ensures an easy and effective grip in all conditions.
There are 6 pre-posistioned ports: 2 HP ports for a submersible
presure gauge and the transmission unit of an air-integrated
computer, and 4 LP ports.
Soft-touch shock protection and scratchproof coatingalso
add to the list of features.
Second
stage
A
compact, rugged and technologically advanced "all metal"
second stage featuring the VAD (Vortex Assisted Design)
system.
The body is made from high-impact chrome and nickel-plated
brass, while the innovative metal cover design features
an enhanced version of the exclusive "Mesh Grid"
system. In fact, the Orbiter 2nd stage incorporates the
"Mesh Grid" system "orbitally" around
the front coverplate, for further improvement in performance.
