Smart Fill Auto Cascade System

The fully automatic Smart Fill Auto Cascade System works with or without a compressor and on both stationary and truck-mounted units. It automatically gets the maximum amount of air out of a storage system with no chance of operator error.

This is done by automatically pulling from the storage cylinder with the lowest pressure until the SCBA cylinder has reached the target fill pressure. Operators only need to know how to fill a cylinder in normal fill station operation to use the unit.—www.scottsafety.com, 800-247-7257
