Ready-to-Deploy Protection for SCBA Facepieces The R&B Fabrications Air Mask Bag - Regulator Attachment (Model 426) is designed for firefighters who prioritize speed. Unlike standard bags that require you to disconnect the Mask-Mounted Regulator (MMR) for storage, this unit allows you to keep the regulator attached to the facepiece. This "hot-ready" configuration saves critical seconds during gear donning, ensuring you are on air faster when it counts.
Key Features
- Regulator-Attached Storage: Specifically dimensioned (14" x 10" x 4") to accommodate the added bulk of a mask with the regulator connected, preventing strain on the hose or coupling.
- Spring Snap Hanger: Equipped with a heavy-duty spring snap hook for easy hanging on apparatus hooks, gear racks, or inside lockers.
- Durable Construction: Built from rugged 1000 Denier Cordura® nylon, providing superior resistance to abrasion and tears compared to vinyl alternatives.
- Protective Flap Design: Features a secure closure system that protects the lens from scratches while allowing the low-pressure hose to route comfortably out of the bag.
Why It Matters In an IDLH environment, every second spent threading a regulator onto a mask is a delay in protection. This bag allows you to pre-rig your gear. By storing the mask and regulator as a single unit, you eliminate a step in the donning process, reducing stress and improving response time.
How to Use
- Connect: Ensure your regulator is properly secured to the facepiece.
- Insert: Slide the mask assembly into the bag.
- Secure: Close the flap around the low-pressure hose.
- Hang: Use the spring snap to suspend the bag in the cab or locker for rapid grab-and-go access.
