1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
1.1.1
This manual covers the preparation, operation,
maintenance, troubleshooting, and replacement parts for
Clemco’s CCT Climate Control Tube. The Climate Control
Tube is used to cool or warm compressed respirable air
supplying an Apollo supplied-air respirator or Comfort
Vest. Read this manual and the appropriate Apollo HP
(high pressure) respirator manual and/or Comfort Vest
manual before using the climate control tube.
1.1.2
The National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health (NIOSH) approval and Occupational Safety &
Health Administration (OSHA) regulations cited within
this manual apply when the climate control tube is used
to provide air to a supplied-air respirator. The regulations
do not apply if the climate control tube is used with a
Comfort Vest alone. When a vest is used with a
respirator having a cape that extends over the vest, air
from the vest could be ingested by the user. For that
reason, Grade D air or higher quality, as defined in
Section 2.1 of this manual, must be provided to both the
respirator and vest.
1.2 Safety

Clemco uses safety alert signal words, based on
ANSI Z535.4-1998, to alert the user of a potentially
hazardous situation that may be encountered while
operating this equipment. ANSI's definitions of the signal
words are as follows:

used to alert the user of this equipment
of potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to
avoid possible injury or death.

damage.
CAUTION
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
