PLT® Solas
The PLT® Solas Launching Unit works on either 200 bar (2900 psi) or 300 bar (4350 psi) and is refilled by using a high-pressure air compressor.
For filling to 300 bars (4350 psi), simply connect the air cylinder to a standard scuba diving (breathing air) compressor with standard 5/8″ threads according to DIN 477.
For filling from a 200-bar compressor, Art. No. 1308 Yoke (DIN477) and claw adapter Art.no 1315 is needed to connect the Air cylinder and compressor.
It can be used again immediately after being refilled with compressed air. Since the PLT® Launching Unit works on compressed air, it does not have an expiry date and is not considered as dangerous goods.
