525-112 Pull Pin Sleeve Kit
550-232 Sleeves for the sealed pull pins now marked
with groove, effective immediately

When used with the stainless steel helmets, Kirby Morgan® recommends shortening the sleeves (550-232) a small amount, for improved fit and function. A groove marking the best area to trim the sleeve is now machined into the material around the small end of the sleeve, as shown below.

Bulletin #5 of 2015

Original 550-232, left and current grooved 550-232, right.

Again, the 550-232 Sleeves are sold only in kits of two, 525-112. The kit contains instructions on trimming when used with the Kirby Morgan® stainless steel helmets.

TRIMMING IS NOT NECESSARY WHEN USED WITH FIBERGLASS HELMETS.

Kirby Morgan® does not recommend trimming earlier sleeves that do not have the machined groove.

Sleeves with grooves are shipping now. Order 525-112 Pull Pin Sleeve Kit.
