Supplied Air Respirators (SCBA)

This system enables rescue personnel to communicate over commercially available radios. Attach it to a full facemask (open mode) or put it inside a protective suit (covered mode).

These upgrade kits are designed to bring 2002-edition MSA FireHawk® Air Masks into compliance with NFPA 2007-edition standards. Features new electronics (except electronic communications devices), carrier and harness, and MMR regulator components.

The G1 Facepiece was designed without electronic components, to minimize weight, reduce your stress and fatigue and improve your overall performance level. This design also means that there are no electronic components on the outside of the facepiece that may result in snag and entanglement hazards. What’s more, by eliminating costly electronic components, the price is reduced substantially, allowing personal-issue facepieces to be a cost effective measure. As an added bonus, the facepiece is equipped with cross-contamination prevention to reduce the spread of illness when facepieces are shared. But MSA didn’t stop there. The MSA G1 SCBA is also equipped with a speaking diaphragm to increase speech clarity while off air. The new G1 Facepiece is not only lightweight and compact with overall low profile design, it’s comfortable and built to last. Taking the preferred design features of the Ultra Elite Facepiece, including wide field of view and comfortable, robust seal geometry, we’ve taken the MSA G1 SCBA to the next level with an open port to provide low breathing resistance, both on and off air. The G1 Facepiece can help you to conserve energy for when you need it most.

The RescueAire II Portable Air-Supply System is designed to meet the needs of Rapid Intervention Teams (RITs). The system consists of a lightweight Carbon-Wrapped cylinder, Quick-Fill emergency breathing system, ExtendAire emergency breathing system, and an MMR regulator, supported by a flame and heat-resistant harness. The RescueAire II is a complete system that can provide emergency breathing air for most any victim and is available in both low-pressure (2216 psig) and high-pressure (4500 psig) versions.

This air mask provides uniquely versatile protection, transforming quickly from a CBRN self-contained breathing apparatus to either an air-purifying respirator (APR) or a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). Easily goes from first response and rescue to scene management and remediation. This mask features a one-way inhalation check valve, wide-view lens with Kevlar SpeeD-ON® head harness and high-performance mechanical diaphragm. As the first and only of its kind, it provides emergency responders with the maximum level of protection in CBRN environments.

Rappel to safety with this innovative, quick-release device for emergency egress. Ergonomically contoured, it easily stores rescue rope, hook or carabiner and descender. Ideal for extreme conditions, it features a web management system that also integrates a regulator holder. One belt fits all (up to 310 pounds, including equipment).

Get air on demand with this high-performance, Type C, supplied-air respirator. Mask-mounted regulator responds quickly to changing breathing requirements. Maintains a slight positive pressure to prevent contaminants from invading the face piece. Ideal for chemical and petrochemical processing, municipal utilities, and asbestos and lead paint abatement, as well as non-IDLH environments such as pharmaceutical applications and hazardous materials clean up. Available as a basic supplied air device or as a combination air-line/air-purifying respirator.

This full-face, pressure-demand, Type-C supplied-air respirator features a patented waist-mounted manifold for incredible flexibility. Can be converted from a supplied-air device to an air-purifying system. Dual-supply option lets users connect from one pressurized continuous air source to another—without losing continuity of airflow. The vortex tube option delivers whole-body temperature control for added comfort.

Combining state-of-the-art features with MSA's precision engineering, the Ultra Elite full-face mask is our top model in this range. The ergonomic design makes this a comfortable unit, while the 5-point harness makes it easy to put it on or take it off. The distortion-free coated lens provides a wide field of vision, while the unique airflow prevents lens misting. The face blank has a single-sealing flange and comes in rubber or silicone, while the speech diaphragm makes communication easy to discern. The model has more than 40 different versions, making it the perfect mask for many different applications.

This combination supplied-air respirator with SCBA is designed especially for escape. Versatile, comfortable and affordable, it features a single-assembly first-stage regulator and cylinder valve. Small in size and profile, this one is ideal for working in tight places.

These self-contained devices help personnel escape dangerous and deadly atmospheres, including those with high concentrations of toxic gases or vapors or oxygen deficiency. Low profile, lightweight, and easy to carry, these escape respirators feature one-control operation for a swift exit.

This Type C, supplied-air respirator supplies a continuous flow of air to the face piece from an external source. The complete assembly is available with the Advantage® 4000 face piece, plus breathing tube, web support belt and air flow control valve. Use only in non-IDLH environments.

These assemblies connect air supply hoses to the manifold and air source. Locking-type quick disconnects are available to interconnect lengths of air supply hose. With locking quick-disconnects, use up to 12 sections of hose to make up the maximum length.

This high-quality SCBA provides comfortable, outstanding respiratory protection. Ruggedly reliable and flexible, it's a popular choice for a wide range of maintenance or rescue operations, including firefighting. Designed to reduce stress and fatigue. The ergonomically designed and optimally balanced AirMaXX backplate is adjustable to fit all body sizes. Based on decades of experience, we also offer two SCBA presets: AirMaXX & eXXtreme – configured systems for the most common applications. For high-frequency and extended SCBA wear, maximum user comfort translates directly into increased performance and good health. The AirMaXX SCBA preset combines premium ergonomic features with advanced technology to provide the best experience in SCBA wearability available today. If you are using your SCBA frequently, for long periods at a time or require absolute concentration in your work, the AirMaXX is the system of choice. The continuous exposure to flames and heat from recurring hard training takes an especially hard toll on equipment. The eXXtreme preset utilizes special materials to reduce maintenance and cost of ownership of critical components that would otherwise require frequent replacement in such extreme applications. Trainers and others who work in repeated high-heat and flame circumstances choose eXXtreme.

This motion-sensitive device detects firefighter motion—without responding to false alarms. Ideal for rigorous fire service demands, this modular system is easy to maintain, too. An optional heat sensor sends an alert when hazardous heat levels are looming. Buddy light improves wearer visibility.

Through NFPA, firefighters strive to improve the durability and performance of their SCBA and PASS devices. It's no different with the new 2013 edition of NFPA 1981 and 1982 NFPA standards for self-contained breathing apparatus and personal alert safety systems (PASS). These revisions call for a minimum low pressure alarm set point of 33% cylinder operating pressure remaining, improved facepiece lens radiant heat performance, 500° F heat and flame exposure, and standardized PASS device alarm sound patterns. In addition, NFPA has raised the bar on voice communication capability, now requiring measurable, minimum Sound Transmission Index (STI) scores for both mechanical and electronic communications. MSA's new FireHawk M7XT Air Mask represents a true technological achievement in critical firefighter protection. As firefighters determined the safety requirements required to meet NFPA 1981 and 1982 2013-edition standards, MSA engineering teams began to design solutions. The new FireHawk M7XT Air Mask, with its life-safety design components built upon a modular air mask platform, exceeds NFPA 2013 requirements and provides firefighters with the highest quality SCBA available.

This advanced air mask features seven life-safety design components. It is the highest quality SCBA available and is virtually bulletproof against fire ground hazard. Although lightweight and easy to use, it's a stellar performer—even in the face of extreme temperatures (up to 500°F).
