FF702 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Can someone explain to me the meaning of standard force and low force hoses on the BA sets?. Thanks advance
Crog Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 What make/model set is that? Not terminology I’ve heard used for sets. 1
Messyshaw Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Could it be what was referred to as high pressure (anything between the cylinder and 1st stage reducer) and low pressure (between the 1st stage reducer and demand valve)? 1 1
Crog Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 That’s the set we use and never heard of it. Can only guess it’s what messy states. 300 bar between cylinder and first stage reducer (believe only section at this is from cylinder into emu). Then have your medium between first stage and ldv (6-9 bar), before it goes to 0.1-0.3 bar above atmospheric for the mask. 1
Navigator Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 High pressure hoses on ours from the pressure reducing valve to the bodyguard emu, then medium pressure to lung demand valve and second person attachment 1 1
Toffer Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 It's for the hose attachments, so on your normal side it's standard force so is harder to disconnect, and low force on the rescue mask side so it is easier to plug into. (That's my understanding anyway) If you look at the attachments they are stamped SF and LF and also have different markings, one is ribbed while the other has dots. 1

Can you either add them again or link to them if they're too large to post. As some of the other posters have said, its not a term that is well known, so would be interesting to see.
Carl Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Is @Toffer not referring to the actual "Hose attachments" rather than any "attachments" to the post 😆 2
Toffer Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Yes I was but I can add some attachments of the attachments if you want 😁 1
