STAINLESS STEEL KIRBY MORGAN 77 WITH WATERPROOF CONNECTOR
The REX Exhaust System is standard on the Kirby Morgan KM-77SS. The advanced regulator pod on this helmet allows it to be outfitted with other Kirby Morgan regulators, including the SuperFlow 350 or the all stainless steel 455 balanced regulator.
Features
Air Train: The air train diffuses incoming breathing air/gas onto the face port/lens to defog and ventilate.
Auxiliary Port: The auxiliary port will allow for future add-ons and modifications to the stainless steel helmets. It is located on the port side of the shell.
Defogging Steady Flow Valve: Provides an additional flow of gas into the helmet for ventilation and defogging.
Emergency (EGS) Valve: Emergency (EGS) Valve supplies backup breathing gas to the diver. This valve is an integral, built in part of the stainless steel sideblock.
Gas Supply Non-Return Valve: Commercial Rated, It prevents loss of gas pressure in the event of umbilical damage.
Handle: Removable grip and handle. Handle can be removed without breaking seals, making it quick and easy to attach accessories.
Nose Block Device: Nose Block Device allows the diver to block the nose to equalize ears.
Rapid Change Modular Communications Systems: Because the module is easily removed the helmet, repair or replacement of communications parts is quick and trouble free. It is available with either a male waterproof connector or a bare wire post connection.
REX Regulator: Full adjustment balanced piston is a breakthrough design that exceeds all requirements of all government or other testing agencies.
Silicone Oral Nasal Mask: Made of a superior silicone material which is hypo-allergenic and has a longer work life than latex.
Stainless Steel Shell: After x-ray inspection, each 316 stainless steel shell, is precision CNC machined to tight tolerances, to ensure proper fit to all other mating parts. The shell is durable and easy to maintain. Easily cleaned using a Scotch Brite or similar type cleaning pad.
Stainless Steel Side Block: Multi use side block has additional ports built in to provide controlled air flow, if needed. The stainless steel sideblock has a built in EGS.
Whisker Wings: Bubble deflecting Whisker wings keep bubbles further from face port and ears, improving visibility and decreasing internal noise.
Positive-Lock Latch System: Developed by Kirby Morgan in 1992, consists of two sealed Positive-Lock pull pins: which are pulled forward to release the neck collar and neck dam locking system. Even when the latches are released, the O-ring sealed neck dam maintains a positive seal and will not allow the seal to be broken until the collar actually clears the diver's shoulders, thus helping to prevent any flooding of the helmet.
Head Cushion: Gives the commercial diving helmet a secure, well balanced feel as well as excellent thermal protection during long work periods.
Adjustable Neck Pad: The helmet attached yoke system has an adjustable neck pad which is made from a scuff resistant elastomer. In conjunction with the spring activated front neck dam ring lock, it provides protection for the bottom of the commercial diving helmet.
Internal Adjustable Chin Strap: The adjustable chin support, along with the adjustable neck pad on the locking collar gives the commercial diver a comfortable, secure fit.
