AIR-LINE RESPIRATORS [BACK]  [NEXT]

PremAire® Supplied-Air Respirator System

The PremAire Supplied-Air Respirator System is one of

the most advanced air-line respirators available.

Designed to provide the utmost in versatility, the

modular system allows users to "create" different

respirator configurations from one unit. As a result,

 workers can use the PremAire System to match specific respiratory protection needs to the task at hand.

A lightweight mask-mounted regulator provides high

air flow and responds quickly to changing breathing

requirements.

The basic PremAire Respirator includes the patented

manifold and can be upgraded with any of the four

following options:

1. an Escape Cylinder that permits emergency escape

from Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health

(IDLH) atmospheres.

2. a Dual-Supply option that lets workers connect from

one pressurized continuous air source to another

without losing continuity of air flow.

3. a Duo-Twin option that converts the respirator into a

combination supplied-air/air-purifying device. This

allows workers in non-IDLH atmospheres to move

freely from station to station without being tethered

to an air-supply hose.

4. a Vortex Tube option that delivers whole-body

temperature control for added worker comfort.

 

The PremAire Respirator is a full-face, pressure-demand,

Type-C supplied-air respirator with a patented

waist-mounted manifold, giving incredible flexibility

to the user.

In addition to the flexibility offered by the manifold, the

PremAire Supplied Air Respirator System is now available with the Firehawk® Mask- Mounted regulator (MMR).

This revolutionary 2nd-stage regulator, offered in push-toconnect (PTC) and slide-to-connect (STC) versions, combines user-friendly connections and unbeatable care

 and maintenance. The Firehawk MMR, originally

designed for the rigorous conditions of the fire service, is a solid cover regulator for use with the Ultra Elite facepiece, considered best-in-class with over 94% field of vision with

the MMR engaged. Read more about the FireHawk

SCBA on pp.35–36 of this catalog or call MSA

various PremAire Respirator configurations available, and a hard-cover binder with tab pages to house and organize these materials. All these manuals are available on our website: www.MSAnet.com

 

Traditional MSA Part Numbers
 See the following page for Assemble-To-Order information. For customers who

require faster delivery, the most popular PremAire system combinations can still

be ordered with a traditional MSA part number. These units are always stocked

in our warehouse and are ready to ship upon receipt of order. These assemblies

come with a medium Hycar Ultra Elite Facepiece and nosecup with rubber

harness. For these assemblies, Quick-Disconnects must be ordered separately

(see p. 40; you need a male plug with female 1/4" NPT (column 2), and a

female socket assembly (column 5).
