US SCBA:
Drager 2216 psi PAS Lite
Drager FPS 7000(R56200)
CGA-580 to CGA-346 adapter
~2000$

US hood setup:
Drager rescue hood~250$
Drager CEJN 344 coupler~140$
ACU-200 reg~100$
Middle adapter(CGA-032 to 1/4 NPT)~15$

Both will kill you,the choice is yours

Hey, I don't know if you are still active on this forum since it seems that you posted sometime ago but if you do happen to see this, could you let me know whenever you get the chance if the cga 580 to 346 adapter actually fits with the pressure reducer that comes with pas lite? There was another member on here that made a good point which I'll quote but to my knowledge did not buy the pas lite due to doubts the connection would work. Hoping to get some clarity since I'm using Scba and am based in US.


"the photo shows a male connection that wouldnt connect to the adapter.
This scba system with this male type of connection is used for connecting to an airline. The system has an integrated Automatic Switch Over Valve (ASV) and a male airline connection kit. This allows the wearer to breathe from an external airline and automatically switches to the cylinder (back-up) air if the external supply fails.
These are the 333358743 (2216 psi) & 3358744 (4500 psi). The adapter will not connect with these systems"


The photo showing the example of this drager scba setup was posted by yet another member of this forum. his name I honestly can't remember, but it claims to be the first stage pressure reducer from pas lite though upon inspection it looks different in appearance.

Sorry, I should have clarified that the previous system with the male connection is another model of PAS lite. 333358743 It for use with a airline.

The photo of the system that connects to the brass adapter is another PAS lite model. 4046190 (2216 psi)
As in the photo, the first stage pressure reducer has a 'black' wheel....female connection. The brass adapter (male) fits into that. They are CGA-346 types of connections.
The part of the brass adapter that fits into the cylinder is a CGA-580 connection.
There is another PAS lite model that is for higher pressure tanks (4500 psi) 4046191....they have a 'blue' wheel and use a CGA-347 connection, and there is a way to make them work with a cga-580 adapter as well.

Ok. thank you for shedding some light on the differences between the two, it helps a lot.
