RESCUE SYSTEM SUMMARY DATA SHEET

The Rescuer RIT system allows a Rapid Intervention Team to attach the RIT connector to a downed fire fighter's facemask or buddy breather system of either the Viking or Magnum SCBA. The system consists of a carry bag, cylinder, pressure reducer, end of service alarm, and eight-foot low-pressure hose with a star manifold. Several different fittings are available on the RIT system star manifold to connect to your individual SCBA. With the RIT system, rescue teams can evaluate the down fire fighter’s SCBA and choose between connecting to the buddy breather or facemask for the best rescue option. The RIT system is not compatible with the new RIC connector mandated by NFPA 1981; 2002, and 2007 Edition on the Viking SCBA.
