Automatically activates if internal helmet pressure becomes too great. Can also be manually adjusted to improve breathing when operating in the open circuit mode or it can act as a standalone feature to dump exhaled gas directly into the surrounding water.
This system stabilizes the supply regulator, creates a protective bubble layer to the exposed valve and deflects exhaust bubbles from the diver’s field of view when operating in open circuit mode.
The air train diffuses incoming breathing air/gas onto the face port/lens to defog and ventilate.

Can I get the KMACS-5 without its case?
The case (p/n 420-101) is an integral part of the design, building & shipping of the precision made interior workings of the KMACS-5. We therefore do not offer the KMACS-5 without the case. All KMACS-5s leave our factory installed into their cases.
