How much should the adjustment strap be turned outwards when securing the Trans-Fill Pouch?

The adjustment strap of the Trans-Fill Pouch is designed to ensure a secure and effective connection during the filling process of the SCBA tanks. Turning the strap outwards by a ¼ turn provides the optimal amount of tension and ensures that the pouch is properly secured without over-tightening, which could lead to improper sealing or damage to the equipment. This precise adjustment is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the connection and preventing leaks, thereby ensuring the safe transfer of air from the supply source to the SCBA tank.

Understanding the correct amount to turn the adjustment strap helps users ensure that the equipment operates efficiently and safely, as any deviation from this could compromise the safety features that the SCBA is designed to provide.
