Dräger second medium-pressure connector Part # 3358868
The second medium-pressure connector that
integrates into the medium-pressure system of a Dräger PSS® Series
breathing apparatus. It is connected into a port on the pressure reducer
and provides the wearer with two connectors as follows:
● An outlet connector (female quick-connect coupling) is used for the
supply of air to a second person for the purpose of rescue.
● An inlet connector (male quick-connect coupling) is used for the supply
of air from an alternative medium-pressure air source for
decontamination.
There is a one-way valve in the inlet connector of the PSS® Buddy
Breather that normally blocks outlet air flow from the connector. A safety
feature is that the outlet connector of the PSS® Buddy Breather has an
actuator coupling (AC) that overrides the one-way valve if two PSS® Buddy
Breathers are connected together. This ensures that if a second PSS®
Buddy Breather is accidentally reverse connected during a rescue, air is
still supplied to the second person
