BREATHING AIR SYSTEM TESTING AND DELIVERY
The complete air system shall be tested by the final system installer after its installation on the fire apparatus is complete,
using the testing procedure prescribed by the system manufacturer.
The following items shall be tested or verified on all air systems:
1. Pressure test the system to its maximum operational pressure and check all connections made as a part of the
installation for leaks with a leak detection device, which could include bubble fluid or electronic means.
2. Verify that any leaks detected during the testing are repaired.
3. Visually verify the relief valve set points and working pressure of the air tank.
4. Verify the accuracy of all pressure gauges.
5. Fully test the operational capabilities of the fill station as established by the manufacturer of the fill station.
6. Seal all fill adapter connections to eliminate the introduction of contaminants prior to shipment.
If the system’s air supply includes a compressor/ purification system, the following additional items shall be tested or
verified:
1. Confirm that the fluid levels are at the manufacturer’s recommended levels, including the lubricant and coolant if
the system is liquid cooled.
2. Verify the expiration date of the purification filters and cartridges and that they have been installed as required by
the manufacturer of the system.
3. Operate the air compressor for a minimum of 2 hours or the period required to completely fill the onboard air
tanks, whichever is longer.
4. Confirm that all compressor interstage pressures are within guidelines as established by the compressor
manufacturer.
5. Confirm the operation of the compressor shutdown switch at the pressure requested by the purchaser
MOBILE FILL STATION - EAGLE SIDEWINDER X2
GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
The mobile fill station shall have the capacity for filling two (2) SCBA cylinders simultaneously or separately. The
enclosure shall be designed to contain the impact of suddenly expanded high pressure air and all displaced fragments in
the unlikely event of a cylinder or fill component rupture. The containment design shall feature a loading door that is
trapped inside the fill enclosure cabinet frame when closed. The enclosure shall include an automatic, safety interlock to
prevent filling unless the loading door is completely in the closed position and a safety relief valve to protect operators in
the event that the SCBA fill pressure exceeds 4750 PSIG.
The external construction of the high pressure, breathing air fill station shall be appliance-like; using formed, fabricated
steel structures and panels without visible welds, burrs or grinding marks.
