The Nevis FABA System is designed for oxygen deficient atmospheres and high hazard environments including confined spaces, gas works, fuel tanks, utility work, and aerospace applications. It is ATEX certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and operates effectively between -6°C and +50°C. The system provides a Nominal Protection Factor of 2000, making it suitable for environments where high levels of respiratory protection are required.

Mask sizing is based on measuring the straight-line distance from the bridge of your nose to the tip of your chin. Small fits 100-110mm, Medium fits 110-130mm, and Large fits 130-140mm. The technical data sheet includes a sizing chart with recommended, preference, and not recommended zones to ensure optimal fit and seal. Proper sizing is critical for achieving the rated protection factor.

The Nevis FABA System requires annual maintenance by an authorised Centurion Safety service centre. Between services, the system should be inspected before each use for any damage to hoses, mask, seals, and components. The system has a 5-year shelf life when stored correctly at 20°C (between -10°C and +50°C, below 60% RH), away from direct sunlight, and in the original packaging.

Yes, the standard system includes a 9-metre breathing hose, but extended lengths up to 20 metres are available upon request. The appropriate hose length should be determined based on your specific application requirements, considering the work area layout and fresh air source location. Contact Centurion Safety for pricing on alternative hose lengths.

The unpowered Nevis FABA System (R26/400) relies on the user’s breathing to draw fresh air through the hose, making it suitable for most standard applications. The optional mini turbines (R26LWT240/110) provide powered air delivery, reducing breathing resistance and improving comfort during extended use or high work rates. Mini turbines are available in 240V (UK), 220V (Euro), and 110/120V configurations to suit different power supplies
