Product catalog summary
Overview of MSA Air-Line Respirators
MSA Air-Line Systems offer long-duration respiratory protection using Type C Supplied-Air Respirators, also known as air-line respirators. These systems include a facepiece connected to an air source via an air-supply hose, providing respirable air to users. They are NIOSH-approved for non-IDLH environments unless equipped with escape air cylinders.
Types of Respirators
  • Pressure-Demand Respirators: These deliver air as needed, maintaining positive pressure in the facepiece to prevent contaminant entry. They require uncontaminated compressed-air sources meeting ANSI Standard Z86.1 and typically use large compressed air cylinders or cascade systems.
  • Constant Flow Respirators: These provide continuous airflow, maintaining positive facepiece pressure. They are generally used with compressors due to high air consumption and are available in tight-fitting or loose-fitting styles.
Key Products
  • PremAire Cadet Respirator: A pressure-demand, Type-C respirator with a mask-mounted regulator, suitable for various industrial applications. It can be upgraded to the PremAire System and is used in non-IDLH environments.
  • PremAire Cadet Escape Respirator: Combines a supplied-air respirator with an escape cylinder, designed for simplicity and comfort, suitable for chemical, refinery, and confined space applications.
Components and Accessories
MSA provides a range of components and accessories for their air-line systems, including air-supply hoses, quick-disconnect assemblies, and pressure regulators. Systems can be configured with different facepieces and control valves to meet specific needs.
Ordering Information
Complete assemblies and kits are available, including various facepieces, harnesses, and quick-disconnect options. Detailed part numbers and configurations are provided for easy ordering.
Product Overview
The document describes various locking mechanisms and cascade system accessories used in safety equipment, detailing materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, steel, and brass.
Locking Mechanisms
Different types of locking mechanisms are listed, including CEJN, SNAP-TITE, and FOSTER, with specific part numbers for each material type, used for secure connections in safety systems.
Cascade System Accessories
Accessories include Audi-Larm Audible Alarms for low and high pressure, air coupler tees, air pigtails, air cylinder pressure regulators, and manifolds with quick-disconnects, each specified with pressure ratings and part numbers.
Usage and Safety Instructions
The bulletin emphasizes that products should not be used by untrained or unqualified individuals. It is crucial to read and understand product instructions, warnings, and cautions before use.

Pressure-Demand System Optional locking quick-disconnects Sealing tape required on all pipe threads. Begin at second thread and wrap 1 to 1½ turns clockwise. * 2400 psig cascade system Select 1 outlet connection: E1, E2 or E3 Note: DO NOT use teflon sealing tape on straight threaded connections with O-ring seals. Note: Cascade cylinders are not normally used with constant flow systems due to excessive air usage—1 large (300- cu-ft) cylinder would last 1 working person only about 15 minutes. Therefore, using cascade cylinders with pressure-demand systems is recommended. Pressure Demand System...
