MSA ExtendAire™ System

The ExtendAire I Systemis integrated to the Firehawk® Second

Stage Regulator’s intermediate pressure line. Coupling the

system's 40-inch rescue hose between SCBA, provides both

firefighters with intermediate pressure air for emergency escape.

 

MSA’s ExtendAire Systems are Emergency Breathing Supply System (EBSS) accessories that use intermediate pressure air to provide firefighters with a source of emergency breathing air. The ExtendAire system allows firefighters to quickly and easily connect to and breathe from a fellow firefighter’s air cylinder. ExtendAire Systems are tightly integrated with the SCBA to provide unrestricted mobility and easy access during critical situations. The system uses a quick connect with an integrated check valve that prevents the breathing air pathway from being contaminated by ambient air.

The ExtendAire I System is integrated to the FireHawk® Second Stage Regulator’s intermediate pressure line. Coupling the system's 40-inch rescue hose between SCBA, provides both firefighters with intermediate pressure air for emergency escape.

MSA’s new ExtendAire II System offers an integrated rescue hose used with the PR14™ First-Stage Regulator that features both male and female quick-connect fittings. The system is stowed in a waist pouch that mounts on the carrier assembly and is designed to prevent snagging and accidental opening. The ExtendAire II System also connects to the ExtendAire I System for additional system flexibility.

This air mask is approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and is NFPA-compliant without interconnection of two users to one apparatus. NIOSH does not certify respirators for use as buddy breathers; therefore, attachment of a donor’s emergency breathing hose to a receiver’s emergency breathing hose voids NIOSH/MSHA approvals for both apparatus. Users must exercise care while maneuvering during escape; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.
