Will not damage Expensive  SCBA Cylinders
Our exclusive multi-layer coating process enables us to provide you with a spring clip that will be used for years. The revolutionary High Cycle Clips have been tested to over 50,000 cycles on our specially designed clip testing machine and still show little or no sign of wear...and more importantly, no damage to the SCBA cylinder.

We have also tested our standard clips and the competition's clips on our testing machine. Due to the poor design of the competition's clip and their inferior coating, they will start to damage an air cylinder in as few as 100 cycles. Can you afford to replace your cylinders every year? If not, specify ZICO clips and WALKAWAY brackets.

Our exclusive non-mar double-coated spring clips with rolled and flared ends eliminate scratching and marring of air cylinders.

Changing Spring Clips

Spring clips may be removed from the Walkaway® bracket when :

  1. Replacing your current SCBA cylinder with either a smaller or larger diameter air cylinder, or

  2. When changing clips on which the protective coating has worn through to bare steel.

On Knock-down brackets you simply unbolt the clips and replace them with new ones. Instructions are provided with brackets when converting bracket to SC-50-H style.

With assembled  brackets, follow these simple steps:

  1. Remove WALKWAY bracket from its mounting surface.
  2. From rear of backplate drill out the rivets that hold the existing spring clips .
  3. With a sharp knife score coating between clip and backplate.
  4. To prevent rusting, paint all bare metal surfaces with Krylon or other fast drying acrylic paint
  5. Attach new clips with hardware that is provided.
Spring clip locations are noted on the drawing to the left. The bottom clips is always placed at location 6, except on SC-50 bracket, where the bottom clip will be in position 5. Top clip should be placed according to the recommended location as indicated in the document WALKAWAY Spring Clip Brackets by SCBA Manufacturer.
