Due to the unique configuration of the air outlets, and their mate up with the air control manifold, Kirby Morgan does not offer O2 fittings or adapters for the KMACS-5 air outlets.
Does Kirby Morgan offer Oxygen (O2) fittings or O2 adapters for the air outlets on the KMACS-5?
The case (p/n 420-101) is an integral part of the design, building & shipping of the precision made interior workings of the KMACS-5. We therefore do not offer the KMACS-5 without the case. All KMACS-5s leave our factory installed into their cases.
Can I get the KMACS-5 without its case?
We do not make or handle Quick Disconnects (quick disconnect whip assembly - for between the sideblock emergency valve and the divers bailout bottle first stage regulator) but you would be able to source quick disconnects through many of our dealers. Please see our authorized dealers.

Adding non authorized coatings to a fiberglass shell will condemn the shell and void the warranty on the helmet. There are currently no approved coatings for a fiberglass shell. A list of authorized coatings have been approved for our stainless steel shells, however applying these coatings will void the warranty on the helmet. Please contact your Kirby Morgan Dealer for more info.
Can I paint, coat or add any surface covering to the shell of my Kirby Morgan helmet?

The most often asked for thread sizes?
We ask that you send it to one of our authorized dealers for inspections.
I need an inspection on my Kirby Morgan product. Do I send it to Kirby Morgan?
Yes. The non-wing style are still available! Just ask for 510-766, 510-767 starboard and port whiskers. They are for use on units with quad/tri valve exhaust assemblies.
Can I still get the earlier non wing style whiskers for my Helmet/Bandmask
Kirby Morgan does not make a vacuum controlled test device for our one way valves (555-195). This device was used back in the 1980s (not made by Kirby Morgan) but this tester was phased out long ago. Vacuum controlled one way valve testers are not necessary and are no longer commercially available for our equipment. The current and approved method for testing the one way valve is covered in the Kirby Morgan Owners Operations & Maintenance Manuals.
I am looking for a vacuum test device for the One Way Valve (aka Check valve or Non-return valve). Does Kirby Morgan make this? Where can I get one?
Kirby Morgan helmets are heavy duty professional life support equipment and are not intended for use with a self-contained gas supply (not intended for SCUBA use). There is no provision for surface swimming once the SCUBA air supply is depleted. This could lead to serious injury or death by suffocation or drowning. We are sorry but Kirby Morgan does not offer a light weight, recreational diving helmet that would keep the ears dry.
My ears have been injured. I can still SCUBA dive but I must keep my ears dry. Would one of your helmets work for me?
