Product Overview
NEW LPU-21C/P SERIES LIFE PRESERVER CASING ASSEMBLY (casing only, no inflatables included)
The LPU-21/P series is usually used in helicopters and
P-3 Orion aircraft. This is collectable new old stock that was never used and is new in the original issue box.
The LPU-21C/P is rare and hard to find among the LPU-21/P series life reserver assemblies. The LPU-21C(V)1/P life preserver assembly is authorized for use by all aircrew personnel wearing compatible flight clothing. It is designed as a constant wear item for use with the SV-2B Survival Vest. The LPU-21/P series is authorized for all aircrew personnel wearing compatible flight clothing in non-ejection seat aircraft.
It is designed as a constant wear item for use with the survival vest and will not interfere with the removal of the nonintegrated parachute harness. The casing assembly, which is constructed of fire retardant aramid cloth, provides a protective cover for the flotation assembly (not included). The casing assembly consists of the adjustable casing, belt keeper loops, uni-directional snap fastener sockets on the collar assembly (which mate with snap fastener studs on the collar lobes), uni-directional snap fastener studs on the inside waist portion (which mate with snap fastener sockets on the waist lobes), and the front connector assembly.
Attached to each waist lobe of the modified flotation assembly is an attachment patch with six uni-directional snap fastener sockets installed. These snap fastener sockets, when mated to six uni-directional snap fastener studs on the casing assembly, secure the waist lobes of the flotation assembly to the casing assembly. The right waist lobe is equipped with a snap hook which connects with a D-ring on the left waist lobe to secure the lobes together after inflation.
