Compatibility and Inspection Note
MSA lists ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 in the approval information for part 10148708, but a replacement suspension does not have a separate impact Type or electrical Class independent of the helmet. Protection depends on the complete manufacturer-approved shell and suspension assembly. Confirm the model and size markings before ordering, and inspect, install, use, and maintain the complete helmet according to the current instructions supplied by MSA.

Which helmets fit the MSA 10148708 suspension?

Yes. MSA identifies 10148708 as a standard-size, four-point Fas-Trac III ratchet replacement suspension.

No. MSA specifies part 10153385 as the standard-size, four-point Fas-Trac III replacement suspension for Skullgard and Comfo-Cap helmets.
Does this product include a hard hat?
No. This listing includes one replacement suspension. The compatible MSA helmet shell is sold separately.
Which Fas-Trac III parts fit small and large V-Gard helmets?
MSA lists part 10148706 for small V-Gard helmets and part 10148707 for large V-Gard helmets. Part 10148708 is the standard-size configuration. Verify the helmet model and size before ordering.
Is there a six-point Fas-Trac III alternative?

Does the replacement suspension determine the helmet's ANSI Type and electrical Class?
