alpha SCBA Enhancements

The entire alpha series of SCBA enhancements is focused on increasing safety, efficiency and incident capability, while maintaining an overall sense of simplicity in design and usage. Yet behind the easy-to-use design is advanced engineering at its most elegant.

[alpha SL]

The alpha pneumatic system is based on the acclaimed SingleLine [SL] air management system. alpha SL supplies the demand valve, gauge, warning signal, second connection and “QuickFill” through the use of just one single visible hose. Part of the secret behind this system is the patented hose-in-hose technology. The high-pressure line runs inside the medium pressure line. The manifold at the head of the alpha SL line integrates gauge, warning signal and two medium-pressure outlets. alpha SL also includes a completely redesigned first stage pressure reducer which requires very little maintenance.

Advantages

• lighter: Fewer parts means less weight: up to 35% in comparison to conventional pneumatics.
• safer: With only one hose, the alpha pneumatic system is safer in tight places.
• durable: The advanced SingleLine materials have been subjected to repetitive testing [>200,000 kinking movements] for extremely long life, ruggedness and safety.
• easier: With fewer parts to service, maintenance is easier and faster.
• cost-effective: Long life and reduced maintenance add up to lower cost-of-ownership.

[alphaCLICK]

With the revolutionary, patented alphaCLICK rapid cylinder coupling, you can say goodbye to cumbersome threading. Simply snap the cylinder onto the pressure reducer and you’re done.
The alphaCLICK is available in two versions for use with 200 bar and 300 bar cylinders, on both, MSA SCBAs and filling panels.

Features

• lets you change cylinders at ten times the speed of threading
• fits on all 200 bar or 300 bar standard threaded cylinder valves
• safety release: a two-step disconnection sequence
• flow restrictor avoids uncontrolled air flow
• fits on all AirMaXX, AirGo and BD 96 SCBAs

You can order your next breathing apparatus with the SL system or you simply upgrade your existing MSA breathing apparatus.
