CONNECTING TO THE EBSS (BUDDY BREATHER) HOSE
ON AN AIR-PAK SCBA:
1. Two kinds of EBSS (BUDDY BREATHER) Hose may be encountered:
• a single female quick disconnect
• a dual male/female quick disconnect
2. If the EBSS on the respirator user's SCBA is a single female quick discon-
nect, attach the male quick disconnect coupling on the RIT-PAK III portable
air supply low pressure dual manifold to the EBSS hose on the respirator
user's AIR-PAK. The female coupling on the EBSS hose may be either the
Pull-back Sleeve or the Notched Sleeve type of coupling. After connection to
EBSS hose coupling with the Notched Sleeve coupling, make sure the sleeve
is rotated 1/4 to 1/2 turn so notch does not line up with rivet head. Test for
proper engagement by tugging on the couplings.
3. If the EBSS on the respirator user's SCBA is a dual male/female quick discon-
nect, attach the male quick disconnect coupling on the RIT-PAK III portable air
supply low pressure dual manifold to the female coupling on the dual EBSS
hose on the respirator user's AIR-PAK. The female coupling will be the Pull-
back Sleeve type of coupling. Test for proper engagement by tugging on the
couplings.
4. Secure the Low pressure dual manifold assembly to the respirator user's
person while transporting.
