Powered Air-Purifying Hood Respirators
The most mobile respirators in our offering—these powered respirators allow a wider range of motion than supplied-air respirators. The blower straps around your waist to allow unrestricted movement. They’re often used for jobs such as painting and applications where you need to move around. Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, these respirators don’t press directly against your face. They include a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that powers them for approximately four hours. To alert you to low battery and low airflow, they have an alarm with two distinct sounds that can be heard inside the hood.
Made of Tychem 2000 (formerly known as Tyvek QC), these hoods are chemical resistant. They have two layers: an outer bib for overspray protection and an inner bib that tucks into your clothing for splash protection. Turn the knob to adjust the hood’s ratchet suspension for a personalized fit.
Respirators with a hard hat are best for jobsites where there is a risk of falling objects or an on-site hard hat requirement. The hard hat fits inside the hood.
Harnesses (sold separately) make it comfortable to wear the respirator for long periods by distributing its weight and reducing pressure on your lower back.

Harnesses for Powered Air-Purifying Respirators
Make it easier to move and more comfortable to wear your respirator. These harnesses keep the respirator secure, so you can kneel, stand, or sit without it shifting much. Since they spread the weight of the respirator system across your shoulders and hips, the load on your back is reduced. They are especially beneficial when you need to wear your respirator for long shifts.

Cartridges for Powered Air-Purifying Respirators
Replace the cartridge on your powered respirator to keep air free from gases and vapors. Switch them out when the blower indicates that air flow is low. You must match the manufacturer of your respirator.

Hazardous Location Powered Air-Purifying Hood Respirators
Designed with a battery that connects securely to the blower, these respirators prevent sparks that could ignite flammable or combustible particles in the air. They’re CSA certified to meet NEC requirements for use in hazardous locations. Instead of being tethered to an air source, the blower straps around your waist, allowing you to move freely around a space. Use them in areas with high levels of contaminants. A dual-alarm system alerts you to low airflow and low battery life.
Made of Tychem 2000 (formerly known as Tyvek QC), these hoods resist chemicals. They have two layers: an outer bib for overspray protection and an inner bib that tucks into your clothing for splash protection. Turn the knob to adjust the hood’s ratchet suspension for a personalized fit.

Blowers for Powered Air-Purifying Respirators
Replace the blower when it’s worn or damaged to keep air flowing through your powered respirator. Blowers suck in air and push it through a filter or cartridge to deliver clean air. They’re battery powered for portability, with a gauge telling you how much battery life is left. To keep you safe, a low-battery alarm will go off when it’s time to recharge the battery. A low-flow alarm sounds when you need to change your filter or cartridge.
NEC rated blowers prevent sparks that could ignite flammable or combustible particles in the air. Use them when working in environments where flammable and explosive vapors, gases, and fabrics may be present.
Choose a filter or cartridge (sold separately) to remove harmful particles from the air. Cartridges also remove gases and vapors.

Breathing Tubes for Powered Air-Purifying Respirators
Replace worn or damaged breathing tubes—these tubes deliver clean, breathable air from the air pump to your hood or helmet. To maintain NIOSH approval, match breathing tubes to the same manufacturer and series as the respirator and corresponding hood or helmet.
Covers (sold separately) extend the life of tubes by protecting them from harsh contaminants, such as paint and chemicals.
