MSA G1 RIT Systems

In a Mayday situation, every second counts. The MSA G1 RIT System is engineered to provide Rapid Intervention Teams with a versatile, high-speed solution for delivering emergency breathing air to downed or trapped firefighters. Built to withstand the most extreme fireground conditions, this system ensures your rescue team has the tools needed to establish an immediate air supply in any environment.

  • Advanced Pneumatics: Every system features a six-foot high-pressure supply line for Quick-Fill transfilling and a six-foot intermediate pressure line with an ExtendAire II manifold. This dual-approach allows for rapid air transfer or direct connection to a downed firefighter's SCBA.
  • Mission-Specific Connections: Available in both Threaded (CGA) and Quick-Connect models to match your department’s existing cylinder infrastructure, ensuring seamless compatibility when swapping bottles under pressure.
  • Superior Durability: Housed in a specialized rescue bag made from Ultra-Tough Iron Cloth with a Heat-Shield Skid Plate, the system is designed to be dragged over debris and rough surfaces without compromising the internal life-safety components.
  • Ready for Rescue: The system includes a dedicated G1 Pressure-Demand Facepiece and a remote external gauge for easy pressure monitoring, while the high-visibility reflective tape and tool pockets ensure the kit is easy to locate and utilize in low-visibility environments.

Frequently Asked Questions About MSA G1 RIT Systems

The difference lies in how the internal pressure reducer attaches to the SCBA cylinder. The Thread-Connect version uses a standard CGA fitting, while the Quick-Connect version allows for push-to-connect bottle changes. You should choose the model that matches the cylinders currently used by your department to ensure compatibility during a rescue.

Yes. Through the Quick-Fill and ExtendAire II connections, the G1 RIT system can provide emergency air to various generations of MSA SCBA. However, for the most seamless integration and full functionality, it is optimized for use with the G1 platform.

No, cylinders are typically sold separately. This allows you to select the specific duration (45 or 60-minute) and pressure (2216 or 4500 psi) that aligns with your department’s standard equipment profile.

During a rescue, RIT bags are often dragged rather than carried. The Heat-Shield Skid Plate protects the fabric from friction-related tears and heat damage while allowing the bag to glide more easily over floor debris, reducing the physical strain on the rescue team.

Like all G1 hardware, the RIT system should be decontaminated using a validated process. We recommend using MSA Confidence Plus 2 for the facepiece and checking the "soft goods" of the bag for any thermal damage. If the bag or straps are compromised, they should be replaced immediately using a G1 Soft Goods Kit.
