The Air-Pak X3 Pro is built on a foundation of proven, trusted performance, providing the same reliability and durability that 3M Scott builds into all its NFPA Air-Pak SCBA products. The latest example of this commitment is the new As Long As You Own It – Air-Pak SCBA Warranty.

The As Long As You Own It – Air-Pak SCBA Warranty is effective on all Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA shipped compliant with NFPA 1981 (2018, ed.). This bumper-to-bumper warranty includes all standard components of the SCBA and is designed to help simplify budget planning for volunteer and municipal fire departments. With no mandatory overhaul schedule and no forced parts replacement, the As Long As You Own It – Air-Pak SCBA Warranty will help to minimize annual maintenance costs.

“Fire departments should not have to worry about crunching numbers to help manage maintenance costs towards the end of the SCBA’s life cycle,” said John Dinning, global business manager, firefighter solutions. “This new warranty reinforces our commitment to the customer and further reduces their lifetime cost of ownership for the Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA.”
