The ST50 SCBA uses a modified, field-proven PC50+ facepiece that provides high performance, wearer comfort, unobstructed vision, and excellent communication. Its rugged, compact demand valve (CDV) has a small footprint and delivers high flow rates to the mask, while the ergonomically designed back frame and harness assembly provide a comfortable, secure fit.
The Avon Protection ST50 accommodates 2,216 psi or 4,500 psi carbon cylinders in 30-, 45-, or 60-minute durations. A quick-release cylinder band allows for easy cylinder exchange.
Designed for straightforward donning, operation, deployment, and maintenance, the ST50 combines ease of use with the robustness needed to withstand the demanding operational requirements of correctional officers and plant security personnel.
