Page 8: Description
Description Description The G1 Industrial SCBA - referred to hereafter as SCBA - is an open-circuit, pressure-demand, self- contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Breathable air is supplied to the user from a self-contained compressed air cylinder. When the SCBA is equipped with an airline connection, the SCBA can be used as a supplied-air respi- rator (SAR). -
