Rebreather Safety Mouthpiece
RBSM - Rebreather Safety Mouthpiece
The Rebreather Safety Mouthpiece (RBSM) is included, factory-fitted, as standard with all new Inspiration units.
At first you will find using a mouthpiece strap is strange but persevere and by dive 3 you will have mastered it’s use and you will appreciate the benefits.
The RBSM is an added safety feature on the rebreather.
The strap provides extra assurance against mouthpiece loss and the flange provides an additional seal. The combination allows you to relax your jaw more, which is of great benefit on longer dives and ensures the mouthpiece bites last longer. Moulded in one piece it is easy to clean and disinfect. The swivel attachments to the flange allow the slap strap to be to located on the nape of the neck rather than on the crown of your head, which ensures the strap does not slide over your head on water entry. The neoprene slap strap provides elasticity and being made of neoprene ensures it does not interfere with your silicone mask strap.
The strap is tightened on either side by pulling forwards on the enlarged webbing tabs; pulling forwards being a more natural action and easier action than pulling backwards with your dive suit on. The strap is easily lengthened by pushing either left or right slider buckles backwards. On the right hand side is a quick release buckle which is great for quickly releasing the strap and for connecting it should you have forgotten to pop the strap over your head while kitting up.
For existing units we offer a factory-fit service at no-cost (other than postage).
Alternatively, this kit includes a cable-tie for the diver to retrofit the RBSM to their existing unit themselves.
NOTE: If you intend to fit the RBSM yourself, please be aware of the following warning:
WARNING: The cable-tie MUST be properly applied with a cable-tie gun to the correct tension of 165N.
DO NOT attempt to hand-tighten the cable-tie or to use pliers or other grips, which may damage the rubber and runs a serious risk of not fitting the mouthpiece securely.
