Description

Scarce Airlock suit cooling harness

Liquid Cooling Garment (LCG) Multiple Water Connector manufactured by Airlock, Inc., engraved “Assy A7L-101037-01” and “SN-350.” This meticulously machined piece of blue anodized hardware was used to connect the Liquid Cooling Garment to the Apollo space suit disconnect pass-through inside the suit and provided for the flow of 4 lbs per minute (.5 gallons) water both into and out of the LCG during the lunar walks. It remains attached to the LCG vinyl tubing manifold, which is cut at the opposite end. In very good to fine condition, with various scratches to metal and deterioration and wear to tubing. This hardware has been authenticated by Bill Ayrey, company historian at ILC Dover, the manufacturer of the Apollo, Shuttle, and Space Station suits, and is accompanied by a letter of provenance from him.
