Description

The M45 and M42A2 Mask Hose assemblies are life support items worn with the M45 Aviator and M42A2 Combat Vehicle Protective Gas Masks. The hose assemblies allow the C2/C2A1 canister, which filters the air to the user, to be worn away from the mask f acepiece. The hose assembly includes the hose and connectors at each end, a rubber gasket, and for the M45 version, a strap. The hose assembly includes the ribbed hose itself, which is made of EPDM rubber and is approximately 24 inches in length and 1.2 inches in diameter. At each end of the hose are molded nylon plastic threaded connectors that are secured to the hose via metal clamps. Each attached clamp is subsequently covered/protected with a heat shrink polyolefin electrical insulation sleeve. O ne end of the hose attaches via the female threaded connector to the canister. The other male threaded connector end of the hose attaches to the sideport opening of the mask facepiece. The hose component is required to pass leakage testing and the hose m aterial is required to pass first article agent permeation testing. Both hose assemblies also require an EPDM rubber port gasket. The M45 Mask Hose Assembly and the M42A2 Mask Hose Assembly are identical except for one sub-assembly. The M45 Mask Hose a ssembly has a nylon strap assembly, with slide and buckle, and the M42A2 Mask Hose assembly does not.
