Kirby Morgan SuperLite 17K In this auction you will be getting 17K Helmet Box Camera/Light Bracketry Hoses & Tee Assembly Head & Chin cushion A spare neoprene for the neck dam A spare face port Weld lens assembly with 2 lens.This item is in the UK, I am only willing to sell it in the UK or USA, if you pay the BUY IT NOW ($3750) there will be no P+P. All Kirby Morgan diving helmets are manufactured by hand. Each step of the manufacturing process is carefully controlled to assure the customer a high quality, durable helmet that will function properly. The SuperLite 17K was developed in 1999. The goal was to bring together all of the top design elements of the various SuperLite helmets. The SL 17K takes the best design features of our world famous SuperLite 17A/B and blends in many of the advanced design features of the SuperLite 27. Add in some fine tuned balance refinements and you have the ultimate div ing helmet. The SuperLite 17K incorporates the innovative locking system and communications system of the SuperLite 27 onto a larger SuperLite 17 size fiber glass shell. It also features the SuperFlow 350 large tube adjustable demand regulator which provides an easier breathing gas flow during peak work output. The helmet consists of two pieces: the helmet shell/ helmet ring and the neck dam neck ring assembly. The machined brass helmet ring houses the latch catches and provides protection for the bottom end of thehelmet. It also mounts an externally adjustable chin support. This support, along with the adjustable neck pad on the locking collar, gives the diver a secure, custom tailored fit in the helmet. This custom fit and balance seats the helmet comfortably for long periods of time even when working in the face down position. A quick change communications module, available in either bare wire posts or a waterproof connector, allows for easy, efficient maintenance of the com munications in the helmet. Many of the breathing system components on these helmets are also compatible with the KMB 18B and 28B full-face masks. This helps reduce the inventory of spare parts that must be carried by commercial diving companies. Each step of the manufacturing process is carefully controlled to assure the customer of a high quality, durable helmet that will function properly. The following is a general description of the features of the SL 17K.1) The face port (or view port) area remains unchanged from the SuperLite ® 17A/B. The side block and bent tube assembly that transports air/gas to the demand regulator from the side block are also the same. Most of the components in these areas are interchangeable between the SL 17A/B, SL 17C, SL 17K, SL 27, and KM 37/57.2) The bottom of the SL 17K fiberglass helmet mate with the helmet ring that is installed at the factory. This metal ring receives the neck dam ring which seals to the helmet with an O-ring. The seal is very air/water tight. The metal bottom of the SL 17K is more durable in normal use, but care should be taken not to drag the helmet bottom on the deck. 3) The neck dam on the SL 17K is positioned between the neck dam rings, securely holding it in place. Re placement neck dams install easily. Latex or foam neoprene neck dams are available.4) When the neck dam/neck ring is locked into place on the helmet, it is located up inside the protective helmet ring (that the neck ring O-ring seals to) which protects the neck ring and neck dam from side impact damage during the dive.5) The neck dam design (latex or neoprene foam) helps position the helmet correctly. Replacement neck dams should only be genuine KMDSI/Kirby Morgan neck dams to assure proper operation and comfort. An internal adjustable chin strap helps to secure the diver in the helmet. 6) A new locking collar design holds the neck ring in the sealed position. The O-ring seal is continuous once the neck ring enters the helmet ring.7) Attached to the locking collar is an adjustable neck pad that should be adjusted to the ...
