FAQs

What is the primary role of the CF10 within a Confined Space safety kit?

In a UK confined space kit, the CF10 is your “escape insurance.” While a monitor like the Crowcon T4 alerts you to gas, the CF10 provides 10 minutes of breathable air to allow you to exit the space. It is a constant-flow hooded system, meaning it is incredibly simple to put on even under extreme stress or in low-visibility conditions.

How does the “Automatic Activation” feature work?

The CF10 is designed for speed; opening the carrying bag automatically activates the cylinder valve via a “pull-pin” connected to the lid. This ensures air is already flowing as the wearer pulls the hood out, preventing panic or delay in life-threatening situations.

Does the CF10 require the user to be “Face-Fit” tested?

One of the biggest advantages of the CF10 hood design is that it does not require a face-fit test. Unlike full-face masks, the hood features a flexible neck seal that can be worn over glasses or by workers with facial hair, making it a versatile option for a varied workforce.

What is the purpose of the orange “Anti-Static” bag option?

The CF10 can be supplied in an orange anti-static bag specially treated to prevent static electricity buildup. This is a critical requirement for meeting ATEX safety standards in “Zone 0” or highly explosive atmospheres, such as sewers or refinery environments.

How do I know if the unit is “ready for use” without opening the bag?

The CF10 features a clear viewing window on the side of the bag, allowing for a quick visual check of the cylinder’s pressure gauge. If the needle is in the green, the unit is ready, enabling rapid inspections in site offices without breaking the security seal.

Is the hood flame-retardant?

Yes, the hood is made from highly visible, chemical-resistant, and flame-retardant material. It is designed to withstand the heat and harsh conditions of an emergency exit, providing protection for the wearer’s lungs, head, and face.

How loud is the alarm when the air is running low?
