Warranty
• 50% lighter than traditional steel cylinders — aluminium liner with carbon and glass fibre wrapping reduces wearer fatigue during extended operations
• 30-year service life — lowest total cost of ownership; significantly fewer replacement cycles across apparatus service life
• Zero air permeation — seamless one-piece aluminium liner prevents moisture ingress and maintains air quality
• No deformation or collapse — high-performance aluminium maintains structural integrity even when fully emptied
• High heat resistance during fast filling — enables rapid cascade or compressor refill without temperature-related degradation to cylinder wall
• No caps or boots required — robust construction meets all required approvals tests without additional protective accessories
• 3-year hydrostatic test interval per AS 2337 / AS/NZS 4332 — aligned with Australian and New Zealand testing requirements
• CE marked to Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
• Compatible with MSA M1 SCBA (all configurations) and legacy MSA SCBA platforms
• Valve sold separately — choose MSA Straight-Line Gauge Valve (768613) for complete working assembly
• Approx. 30 min air duration at moderate work rate — suited to standard structural firefighting and confined space entry
