CRESSI AC25M / MASTER CROMO REGULATOR

Early Bird Prize #2: Awarded at 11:30am
WINNER: TINO S. – LONG BEACH, CA

The AC25 is the third generation of Cressi’s IP adjustable balanced piston first stage. It features 2 high-pressure ports and 5 low-pressure ports; 4 of the low-pressure ports are located on a rotating turret that ensures that regulator and instrument connections are always in the right position, and with the 5^th at the top, the 360 rotating design allows the use of more connections without interference between them. The advanced design delivers consistent intermediate pressure and high performance, even with low tank pressures.

Combined with the Master Cromo, a pneumatic balanced 2nd stage regulator that features an elliptical shape and a lateral knob for Venturi adjustment, the AC25m/Master Cromo is available in DIN and INT versions.
