Universal Air Connect (Uac) - Honeywell Titan SCBA Training Manual

13. UNIVERSAL AIR CONNECTION (UAC)
The Titan SCBA comes equipped with the Rapid Intervention Crew/Universal Air Connection (RIC
UAC). Located on the left side of the CGA hand wheel, the UAC has a dust cover that must be used
at all times. Connection to the UAC via the mating fill coupling allows a one direction flow of air
into the user's air cylinder. A directional flow control piston is located in the quick disconnect cou-
pling to prevent accidental air loss. A relief valve is designed to vent air to the atmosphere if the fill
pressure exceeds the air cylinder service pressure.
The UAC is intended for emergency refilling of an air cylinder. It must never be used as a "Buddy
Breathing" device, SCBA to SCBA refilling, or for continuous air supply.
