What is the length of the Male/Female Manifold in the EBSS system?

The length of the Male/Female Manifold in the Emergency Breathing Support System (EBSS) is 3 feet long. This specific length is designed to ensure adequate flexibility and reach for connecting two SCBA units together while allowing both users to maintain mobility and functionality during an emergency scenario. The 3-foot length strikes a balance between providing enough distance for effective operation and minimizing the risk of entanglement or interference, which could be critical in high-stress situations where ease of movement is essential. Understanding the specifications of components like the manifold is crucial for effective training and operational readiness when using the Scott Air-Pak X3 SCBA system.
