The shoulder straps include friction pads to minimize slip, metal buckles to provide secure retention,
and large retroreflective graphics to enhance visibility. Shoulder straps are available with standard and
serviceable tunnels. Serviceable tunnels provide the ability to separate the harness components
easily for cleaning or replacement. The shoulder straps can be fitted with an optional chest strap to
enhance wearing comfort.
The waist straps are secured to a lumbar pad that is available in basic and adjustable versions. The
basic lumbar pad provides a low-profile, lightweight option. The adjustable lumbar pad provides three
height adjustment positions for optimal fit. The adjustable lumbar pad includes a swivel feature that
enhances freedom of movement and SCBA weight distribution.
An optional regulator retainer is available to secure and protect the regulator when it is not in use.
2.8 Optional Components
2.8.1 ExtendAire II System
The ExtendAire II system includes a manifold, hose assembly, and pouch. The manifold has both
male and female UEBSS-approved quick-connect fittings that enable connection to a second
ExtendAire II system. The pouch, identified with the label "UEBSS", is attached to the user's left side
to hold and protect the manifold and hose assembly. The pouch is held closed securely by a combi-
nation of hook-and-loop fasteners and snaps, but can be opened using one hand.
NOTE: Do not try to connect Snap-tite quick-connect fittings to UEBSS quick-connect fittings. Snap-
tite and UEBSS quick-connect fittings will not operate correctly together.
2.8.2 Remote Quick-Fill System
The Remote Quick-Fill system provides an additional UAC fitting on the SCBA. The Remote Quick-
Fill UAC fitting is found on a manifold on the user’s front, right side. The Remote Quick-Fill UAC fitting
is for use by rapid intervention teams for emergency filling operations.
2.8.3 Quick-Fill Pouch
The Quick-Fill Pouch is a storage pouch attached to the user's right side. It is similar to the
ExtendAire II system pouch, but is used to hold a Quick-Fill line. The pouch is held closed securely by
a combination of hook-and-loop fasteners and snaps, but can be opened using one hand.
