By combining the function of a valve and regulator first stage, the EBS reduces weight, bulk and a failure point. The EBS utilizes a robust piston style first stage that greatly reduces moving parts while still providing good breathing characteristics. - Page 6 OVERHEATING CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Cylinder Manufacturer Recommendations: EBS Cylinders have a design life of 15 years and an inspection period of 5 years, as indicated on the cylinder. Cylinders must be subjected to a thorough periodic inspection in accordance with ISO 11623.
