PAS Colt SAR without Mask - Standard LDV and Hansen Brass | Draeger

Breathing Air Equipment for Confined Space Entry

The PAS Colt SAR without Mask - Standard LDV and Hansen Brass by Dräger is a breathing air equipment system designed for short-duration breathing air support in confined space entry and emergency response work. Confined space entrants, rescue personnel, and maintenance technicians typically use this supplied air respirator to support breathing air access in restricted areas. This NIOSH approved unit features a hip-mounted harness and a drop-down cylinder for easier movement in tight spaces.

Industry Applications and Professional Use

Emergency Services Work Environments

Rescue personnel and emergency responders typically use this SAR unit when they need a compact escape system during urgent entries. It supports short-duration work in high-risk environments where teams may move quickly and need a simple breathing apparatus setup. The hip-mounted harness helps users don the unit rapidly in fast-moving response situations.

Oil & Gas Sites

Maintenance technicians and site supervisors commonly use this supplied air respirator during confined space entry and turnaround work. Oil and gas facilities often require breathing air equipment that works with airline hose connections and supports restricted movement. The Hansen Brass Quick Disconnect Plug helps crews connect and disconnect efficiently during site tasks.

Mining Operations

Confined space entrants and rescue personnel often rely on this breathing apparatus in underground or enclosed work areas. Mining sites usually demand compact respiratory protection that supports short-duration breathing air use and quick movement. The drop-down facility can help users manage the cylinder in tighter access conditions.

Utilities and Plant Maintenance

Maintenance technicians and industrial hygienists typically use this SAR unit for service work in tanks, vaults, and other restricted areas. Utility and plant environments often need a hip-mounted harness that stays organized and tangle free during entry. This design supports controlled access where workers need quick disconnect functionality and dependable setup.

Manufacturing and Construction

Site supervisors and maintenance teams commonly use this unit for planned confined space entry and occasional emergency support. Manufacturing and construction projects may require short duration breathing air for enclosed spaces, equipment pits, and service access points. The compact format helps crews work with a more manageable escape system.

Technical Specifications and Product Features

Understanding Product Standards

Specifications matter because breathing air equipment must match the task, the connection point, and the access limits of the worksite. This SAR unit uses a standard LDV and Hansen Brass Quick Disconnect Plug, and it is NIOSH approved. Those features help crews select a supplied air respirator that fits planned entry work and short-duration escape needs.

Use Case Scenarios and Applications

Confined Space Entry

Workers typically use this supplied air respirator when entering tanks, vaults, and other restricted areas. The drop-down cylinder can help reduce interference in tight spaces. The hip-mounted harness and quick disconnect setup support a more manageable entry process.

Emergency Escape Support

Teams often use this breathing air equipment for short-duration emergency response work. The 5-minute and 10-minute escape cylinder options fit situations where users need a compact escape system. The design supports fast donning when time matters.

Industrial Maintenance

Maintenance crews commonly use the SAR unit during planned service work that involves airline hose connections. The standard LDV and Hansen Brass Quick Disconnect Plug support organized respiratory protection setups. This helps teams integrate the unit into routine work with less clutter.

Tight-Access Utility or Plant Tasks

Utility and plant workers often choose this model when space limits movement and equipment handling. The modular drop-down facility supports better mobility around ladders, hatches, and narrow access points. It fits jobs that need short duration breathing air in compact work zones.

Selection Guide and Product Suitability

When to Choose This Product

Choose this SAR unit when your team needs short-duration breathing air in confined space entry work. It also fits emergency response tasks where a compact escape system matters. It performs well when workers need a hip-mounted harness, quick disconnect connection, and airline hose compatibility.

Key Evaluation Factors

• Confirm the worksite calls for a NIOSH approved supplied air respirator.
• Check whether the task needs a 5-minute or 10-minute escape cylinder.
• Verify the airline hose layout matches the up to 300 feet compatibility.
• Review whether the tight-access work benefits from a drop-down facility.

Limitations and Alternative Considerations

This product is not suitable for users who need a full mask included in the package, since it is sold without a mask. It may also not fit applications that require a different respiratory protection format instead of a supplied air respirator. Available from All Safety with standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to suit project timelines.

Daily Use and Maintenance

Workplace Integration

Users typically don the harness per manufacturer instructions before connecting the airline system. The hip-mounted design and tangle free harness help support quick setup when workers enter confined spaces. Teams commonly use the unit where short-duration or emergency breathing air is needed.

Care and Replacement Guidelines

Inspect the harness, cylinder, and connector before each use per manufacturer instructions. Manufacturers typically recommend washing the harness as specified and letting components dry fully before storage. Replace worn cylinders, seals, or connectors per manufacturer instructions and store the unit in a clean, dry area away from contamination.
