Kussmaul’s 091-150-115 A.C. AUTO PUMP TIMER, designed for the Models 091-9B-1-AD, 091-9HP, and 091-9HP-AD Auto Pumps, reduces pump wear and extends pump life by limiting the duty cycle to one hour running, followed by a one hour Off time. When an Auto Pump is installed in a vehicle that experiences high air leakage, the pump runs continually, which creates higher temperatures and high wear rates, reducing the pump’s efficiency and life. The timer has no affect on normal pump operation and ensures long Auto Pump life. www.kussmaul.com. (800) 346-0857.

MSA’s ADVANTAGE 420 RESPIRATOR allows users to adjust their masks according to individual needs. Testing against the proposed new National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health fit-test panel confirms that the AnthroCurve™ II’s multiethnic face seal design adapts to different head sizes and facial contours. Patent-pending UniBond face piece helps eliminate multiple leak paths while the textured sealing surface reduces face piece slippage when working in hot, humid conditions. Patent-pending yoke and harness design enables quick and easy switch between lock-down and drop-down harness options. www.MSAnet.com. (800) MSA-2222.
