QUICK-FILL SYSTEM OPERATION
QUICK-FILL SYSTEM OPERATION
The Quick-Fill System may be used for transfill operations
as described in this manual. Only qualified, trained per-
sonal Standard Operating Procedures should be devel-
oped for use of the Quick-Fill System, unless using a
3
000psi apparatus. The 3000psi apparatus can not be
u
sed with Quick-Fill system.
• The 3000psi Air Mask is NOT compatible with a
2216psi SCBA Cylinder.
• Do not use the Quick-Fill System with 3000psi Air
Masks.
• Do not install a Quick-Fill System on a 3000psi Air
Mask. This combination will not allow the relief
valve in the 3000psi URC Assembly to open as
designed.
• The Quick-Fill System is not to be used as a
"Buddy Breather" such that two (2) users are shar-
ing the air supplied by one (1) approved SCBA
cylinder simultaneously; doing so will void NIOSH
approval.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death.
The Quick-Fill System must be used only by qualified,
trained personnel who have carefully read and understood
these instructions, cautions, and warnings. NIOSH
approvals of SCBA from MSA are maintained while trans-
filling air ONLY if appropriate Quick-Fill System hose
assemblies from MSA are used. Quick-Fill System hose
assemblies and fittings are rated for a maximum working
pressure of 4500psig.
NIOSH approval is maintained only when using the follow-
ing Hose Assemblies: 485331, 802687, 802688, 802689,
802690, and 48332, for filling cylinders in IDLH atmos-
pheres.
For transfilling operations using the Quick-Fill System,
do not use any transfilling hose assembly or fittings
other than those supplied by MSA specifically for the
Quick-Fill System. Use of any other transfilling hose
a
ssembly and/or fitting can result in serious personal
i
njury or death, and will void NIOSH approval.
• Do not Transfill (be a Donor) using a 3000psi URC
Assembly. The 3000psi URC Assembly has a check
valve that does not allow cylinders to Transfill (be a
donor).
• Using the 3000psi URC Assembly to fill cylinders,
the cylinder can only be filled to 2216psig. If the
pressure exceeds 2216psig a relief valve in the
URC Assembly will vent at approximately 2525psig
or as low as 2400psig. A 3000psig cylinder can only
be filled to 3000psig by using a secondary air
source; the 3000psi URC Assembly can not be
used for filling a 3000psig cylinder.
• Do not lubricate the Quick-Fill fittings. Do not per-
mit oil, grease, or other contaminants to come in
contact with the Quick-Fill fittings. The Quick-Fill
hose assemblies and fittings are designed to be
used with Quality Verification Level (Grade) D or
better air as defined by ANSI/CGA G-7.1.TRANS-
FILLING AIR FROM A SECONDARY AIR SOURCE.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death
.
A secondary air source stores compressed breathing air
until needed to refill SCBA air cylinders. Examples of air
sources include: cascade air cylinder refilling systems;
high pressure compressor systems with a fixed reservoir;
and an SCBA air cylinder which is not installed on an
SCBA.
