I am looking for a used mbu-20 oxygen mask. Does anybody have the dimensions for choosing the offered sizes. I have seen a chart once...but for the life of me, can't find it since. Gentex offers small wide...medium narrow etc, but no sizing chart. I don't want to eBay purchase one that is the wrong size.

if anybody has one for sale....please feel free to let me know as well.

I am building a fresh air system for civilian rotary wing...so the mic, cords, and pressure system tubes are not required.

Thanks!

Thanks Nutloose,

I had done the "quick" search....on the gentex site only gives the part numbers....not the actual part number vs the size/dimensions of my face.

There must be (I have seen one done in a red diagram) a chart so you know what size to order, based on your personal dimensions.

The Page 38 USAF, charts are for them MBU-12. They only measure those ones by length.

The Mbu-20 offers small medium large, with a narrow,wide option!

We use the HA/LP version at work, I can scan the fitting page tomorrow if you like with the measurements.
