Subject:
New Air Train Gasket, KMDSI Part #510-762

Products Affected:
SuperLite and Kirby Morgan helmets, and BandMask model KMB 18

KMDSI will be introducing a new product that will backfit all SuperLite and Kirby Morgan helmets, as well as the BandMask model KMB 18. The new Air Train Gasket, Part #510-762, is made from high quality rubber and eliminates the need to use silicone sealant to seal the edge of the air train on the inside of the helmet shell or mask frame.

The Air Train Gasket provides a watertight seal along the metal edge of the air train. Eliminating silicone sealant from the interior of the helmet will help to speed up sideblock and air train service time by reducing the need to clean up excess sealant.

The Air Train Gasket will ship on all new helmets and KMB 18 Band Masks, and will be available to purchase for retrofit to customer’s gear, starting in May 2006.

Note: This new product will NOT fit the KMB-28 BandMask.

The new Air Train Gasket P/N 510-762 is easily installed in all Kirby Morgan helmets and the KMB 18 BandMask.
