Each TFSS-5326 system consists of one each
independent left and right hand units, which can be mounted on a belt.
Each unit includes a welded flotation bladder, an inflation system, a
pouch closure system, a pouch, and a firing handle. The bladder is a
reusable welded fabric enclosure that deploys under the arm and is
readily collapsed and stowed for future use. The inflation system
utilizes a manually actuated CO2 cartridge for primary inflation and an
oral inflation tube for secondary inflation. The TFSS-5326 pouch uses a
unique Grommet, Loop, and Pin (GLP) closure system design that combines
positive closure of the pouch with space efficient packing. This method
prevents accidental pouch opening and allows for the smallest unit size
when fully packed (approx 6. 5″ x 2. 75″ x 2. 25″). A durable cordura
flap to further protect against damage and inadvertent actuation covers
the entire closure mechanism. The TFSS-5326 pouch contains and protects
the bladder, inflation system, and closure system. It includes a waist
belt loop and clip loops to secure the pouch to the webbing belt. The
firing handle attaches to the outside of the pouch and uses color-coded
beads to help distinguish left and right hand units. The handle serves
to release the closure system and actuate the CO2 inflation system. To
manually actuate a TFSS-5326 unit, the user pulls upward on the firing
handle. This motion initiates two sequential actions. First, the pouch
closure pins are released, allowing the pouches to open freely. Second,
the manual inflator lever is actuated, causing the firing pin to
puncture the seal on the CO2 cartridges to release the gas and
completely fill the bladder. Should the CO2 inflation system fail to
operate, the bladder is filled through an oral inflation tube. This is
accomplished by depressing the Oralock valve, then breathing into the
tube Gas is released from the TFSS-5326 bladder by pressing downward on
the Oralock valve and forcing the air out the oral inflation tube. Once
all of the gas is evacuated from the bladder, the CO2 cartridges are
replaced, maintenance is performed, and the units are repacked for
future use.
- Comes with a CO2 cartridge
- Positive buoyancy at 33 ft. & 80 lbs at surface in seawater
- Available in Covert or Overt System Configurations. Covert system consists of a right and left unit independent of each other with Camo Green pouch. Overt is the same as Covert, with the exception of a yellow bladder with reflective tape and a gray or black colored pouch. Black, reusable 200-denier nylon, welded flotation bladder with oral inflation tube. Includes inflation system, pouch closure system and firing handle.
- Size: 6. 5″ x 2. 75″ x 2. 25″
Tactical Flotation Support System (TFSS)
PAIR PCI TFSS-5326 OD GREEN KIDNEY BEANTS
PECI TFSS-5326 Tactical Flotation System. These kidney beans were paired from two separete lots, as you can tell by the discoloring difference between the two. The system, known as "Kidney Beans" by many units that use them. It attaches to a belt and serves as personal flotation in a pinch should you ever need it. Also included in this auction is a pair of CO2 Cartridges. Great piece of kit, please see pictures for more information. Here are the specifications:
OVERVIEW
The system consists of a right and left unit independent of each other. Each unit includes a OD Green (Covert) in color, reusable welded flotation bladder made of 200-denier nylon, a OD Green pouch, an inflation system, a pouch closure system, and a firing handle.
INFLATION
Inflation system actuated with two Leland 38 gram CO2 filled cartridges P/N 86121Z 2W134 (cartridge available separately) or through an oral inflation tube.
SIZE & DETAIL
Specially designed Grommet, Loop, and Pin (GLP) closure system prevents accidental deployment as well as compacts the pouch to a fully packed size of 6.5" x 2.75" x 2.25". System designed as a "One Size Fits All" system.
BUOYANCY
System designed to provide a minimum of 45 lbs of positive buoyancy in seawater at 33 ft and 80 lbs at the surface. The overt system comes with reflective tape on the yellow colored bladder to aid in recovery in sea operations.
