But you can get an Apex US4 which has no swivels and standard port
diameters.  I believe there is a sealed version of this first stage also
available, probably the DS4.

I don't get that last bit about 'hoovered' but I think that the primary
choice in Scandinavia is Apeks (TX50) which is good and rarely freezes up.

The Apeks' only bad point is that it uses a 1/2" primary regulator port
which means that hose interchangeability sufffers. However, most people
blind this port and use one of the 3/4" ports as their primary (without a
decrease in performance).
