North Escape Breathing Apparatus (EBA)

North Escape Breathing Apparatus (EBA)
When toxic gas starts to leak, every second counts in helping your workers safely escape the hazard. That’s why you can count on North Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus. This full line can provide safe, comfortable, emergency protection for workers in many industries, including chemical, petrochemical, laboratories and paper mills. North offers three models of EEBA in five and ten minute units. Model 845 provides an average of 42 lpm of air flow for five minutes, and the 850, 42 lpm for ten minutes. The Model 855 provides a higher average flow, 75 lpm, for five minutes, ideal where escape routes require high levels of exertion. The 855 also feature a unique diffuser/muffler system to reduce noise inside the hood. All models feature a hood made of durable polyurethane. This transparent hood provides superior visibility. To minimize fogging, a deflector blows incoming air onto the lens. After use, the hood can be detached for replacement or cleaning. The cylinder is lightweight and refillable. In an emergency, the high visibility carrying bag speeds locating the apparatus — yellow for the five minute units and orange for the ten minute EEBA.
