Application Examples for the Use of Quick-Release Couplings in Respiratory Protection
Application:
- Emergency tents
- Decontamination showers
- Field hospital
Advantages:
- quick assembly (instead of a 30-centimetre long adapter hose,
a single coupling with a special thread was used, which can be connected
directly to the distributor)
- operating pressure up to 35 bar
- temperature range from $-20^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $+100^{\circ}\text{C}$
- European standard profile
- one-hand operation
⇒ To Series 26
⇒ To 2-way manifolds
Application:
- Breathing apparatus for firefighters (protection against smoke and toxic
substances)
- quick change of the oxygen cylinder in case of damage
- quick change of the face mask
Advantages:
- the coupling is placed in the middle of the hose connection so that
handling with gloves is no problem
- the coupling profile complies with the international standard (EN 139)
for the connection of mask and oxygen cylinder
- safety locking (plug must first be pressed into the coupling - then it can be unlocked)
⇒ To Series 96 Safety
Application:
- In ambulances for oxygen supply to patients
- Stationary oxygen supplies in hospitals
- Resuscitation equipment for initial patient care
Advantages:
- the coupling maintains its connection even with strong vibrations (during patient transport).
- with safety locking against unintentional uncoupling
- above-average flow performance
⇒ To Series 21 breathing protection
Application:
- Temperature control while wearing the protective suit
- Circulation of air pressure in the suit
Advantages:
- upon uncoupling, the suit is sealed on the inside
- when leaving a contaminated area, no dirt enters the suit due to the safety locking
- high flow performance
- long service life even under the harshest conditions
Application:
- Toxic media that must not be inhaled, but do not cause fundamental skin problems
- Protective masks placed over the head and shoulders that are constantly supplied with breathing air
Advantages:
- High-flow technology for high flow rates
- The safety locking prevents unintentional uncoupling.
The plug must first be pressed against the coupling to unlock it.
- robust design
⇒ To Series 25 Breathing Protection
Application:
- Piping systems that must supply a large number of people with breathing air
- Breathing air supply for multiple people - flow performance of over 2000 l/min
Advantages:
- High-flow technology for high flow rates
- Safety locking prevents unintentional uncoupling
- tested according to EN 139 standard
- not interchangeable with Series 96KS
⇒ To Series 95 Breathing Protection
Application:
- Outdoor applications with a large radius of movement
- external hose reel units
Advantages:
- The coupling profile is not compatible or interchangeable with other series
- High-flow technology for high flow rates
- tested according to EN 139 standard
- Safety locking prevents unintentional uncoupling
⇒ To Series 96 Breathing Protection
