Ultra Elite Facepieces
Ultravue Facepieces
MSA offers two facepieces, the Ultravue Facepiece and the Ultra Elite Facepiece. Each model can be used with MSA SCBA, and both offer an effective combination of comfort and performance. Ultravue and Ultra Elite facepieces are available in three sizes and two materials -- black Hycar rubber, and black silicone. To reduce lens fogging, users may also select from three sizes of optional nosecups and either a SpeeD-ON® Kevlar Facepiece harness or traditional rubber harness with a fully adjustable five point suspension system.

Overview of Air Masks — NFPA Compliant SCBA for Firefighting Applications
MSA offers Air Masks with a mask mounted regulator (MMR) available in low pressure (2216 or 3000 psi) or high pressure (4500 psi) versions; both versions can be customized with a variety of air cylinders for regular and extended use applications. All MSA air masks designed for the fire service comply with NIOSH requirements and NFPA-1991, 2002 edition.
Sleek, rugged and lightweight, the MMR Xtreme Air Mask is the gold standard of self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). It has the best of everything — from its comfortable, wide vision Ultra Elite facepiece and clean, low profile Firehawk second stage mask mounted regulator, to its high strength yet remarkably lightweight cylinder options and advanced Vulcan carrier/harness assembly.
With MSA MMR air masks, performance is enhanced by a unique split regulator design. The regulator's first stage is located on the cylinder backplate, while the second stage attaches to the user's facepiece. The low pressure air mask can be used with cylinders pressurized to 2216 psig. MSA also offers a mid pressure air mask that uses a 3000 psig cylinder, which gives users slightly more than 30 minutes of air. A high pressure mask is used with 4500 psig cylinders. All MMR units can be upgraded to include the Quick-Fill option for emergency breathing system (EBS) plus fast, convenient refilling of cylinders. For added versatility of MMR air masks, dual purpose conversion kits are available to provide the capabilities of an air line respirator and SCBA in one. Cylinder choices remain the same.
Nightfighter Heads-Up-Display exceeds the latest requirements for firefighting SCBA as specified in NFPA 1981, 2002 edition that requires all NFPA compliant SCBA be equipped with at least one heads-up-display. When you open your air mask's cylinder valve, the Nightfighter HUD automatically activates, displaying the cylinder pressure reading in 25% increments. The wireless Nightfighter system consists of three components: a transmitter that mounts on the air mask's gaugeline, a facepiece bracket that attaches to the Ultra Elite facepiece, and a receiver that attaches to the facepiece bracket.
QuickFill® Universal Rescue Connection (URC)
The Quick-Fill URC system exceeds NFPA's requirement that all SCBA have a Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) universal air connection (UAC) male fitting for the replenishment of breathing air to the firefighter's SCBA. MSA's system allows the replenishment of a firefighter's SCBA and additionally allows for transfilling from one MSA SCBA to another. The transfilling capability is patented by MSA.
Minimum SCBA requirements for upgrading:
MSA air masks must meet the following minimum requirements before they can be upgraded to the 2002 Edition of the NFPA 1981 Standard. Upgrading an air mask that does not meet these minimum requirements will void all previous NFPA approvals.

Carrier and Harness Assemblies

Vulcan Carrier and Harness
Black Rhino Carrier and Harness
Wolverine Carrier and Harness
Carrying and distributing the weight of the SCBA is the job of the harness and carrier assembly. MSA's line of flame and heat resistant (FHR) harnesses used on NFPA compliant Air Masks consist of a large back pad, an ergonomically formed backplate and fully adjustable waist and shoulder straps. On MMR Air Masks, the regulator and pressure gauge air hoses are concealed in the shoulder strap for a smooth, non-tangling profile.

Vulcan™ Carrier and Harness System
The Vulcan Carrier and Harness assembly offers MSA Air Mask users the latest in comfort and design. The formed carrier, made from thermo-set composite material, offers extreme ruggedness and durability as well as proper weight transfer of the Air Mask. The "Soft Goods" are easily removable for maintenance or cleaning. The Vulcan system comes with either a single pull or double pull waist belt, and an optional chest strap. When upgrading to the Vulcan carrier and harness (from an earlier MSA harness), a new Audi-Larm device designed for the Vulcan should be used

Black Rhino™ Harness
The Black Rhino Harness features an aluminum backplate, combined with rubber backpad designed to increase wearer comfort and transfer the maximum weight to the wearer's hips.

Wolverine Harness
The Wolverine Harness complies with all NFPA requirements, in a "no frills", lightweight, rugged design. The Wolverine Harness embodies the word "value" in an FHR harness system.
