Product description
Y-Manifold Airtech-Block
The Y-Manifold Airtech-Block is a stainless steel air distribution block for use with the APS helmet. It forms part of the breathing air and life support system and brings several independent air supplies together in one compact manifold.
The block includes independent connections for the umbilicals. This keeps the main breathing air supplies separate at the manifold and provides a clear connection point close to the wearer.
In addition, the Airtech-Block includes a dedicated supply from the egress cylinder. This connection gives the breathing system access to the separate egress air supply.
Additional Air Supply Connection
The manifold also provides one connection for a third air supply. This connection sits alongside the umbilical and egress supply connections within the same distribution block.
Together, these connections allow the Airtech-Block to manage the different breathing air sources required within the APS helmet setup.
Two Helmet Supply Hoses
From the manifold, two supply hoses run to the helmet. These provide the breathing air connections between the Airtech-Block and the APS helmet.
The manifold therefore combines the incoming air supplies and the outgoing helmet connections in one central block. This keeps the breathing air arrangement organised and gives each supply its own dedicated connection.
Belt or Harness Mounting
Integrated mounting points allow the Y-Manifold Airtech-Block to attach to a harness or belt. This keeps the block close to the wearer while leaving the air connections available for the required hoses.
The stainless steel construction gives the manifold a robust design for use within breathing air and life support systems. Its compact format also helps keep the complete air distribution arrangement practical and straightforward.
Overall, the Y-Manifold Airtech-Block provides a central connection point for the umbilical supplies, egress cylinder, third air supply and two helmet supply hoses within the APS helmet system.
