NOTICE
Special attention and caution should be used in closing gas
tight zippers for pressure testing of level A garments. If proper
technique and care are not used, potential damage of the
zipper will occur. When closing the gas tight zipper, it should be
in a position so that a corner or sharp curve is not encountered.
If excess force is used to pull the slider around the corner or
sharp curve, the zipper could be damaged.
The following procedure will help to eliminate this issue:
●
Lay the garment visor up on a flat surface.
●
Fold the visor in half lengthwise and roll away from zipper
onto the flat surface.
●
This allows the zipper to be in a straight position from top
to bottom.
●
Close the zipper in two to three short increments and do
not try to pull the entire length at once.
