Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus must be flow tested every year using an approved flow test device. FETH is an SCBA authorized distributor, as well as an Authorized Air-Mask Maintenance Center. We can offer annual service contracts and on-site Flow Testing service for areas all across the country.

Our trained and certified service technicians will inspect your regulators, face pieces and air cylinders as well as flow test and adjust your department’s SCBA. During the testing process both the face piece and the regulator will be checked to ensure both are working properly. And as part of the testing we also clean and check the cylinder to ensure it is within the required hydro test period. All service and repairs can be completed on site at your location, or in-house.  This will eliminate costly downtime and labor costs. We have a variety of annual service contracts available for this service.
