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.
Harnesses (sold separately) make it comfortable to wear the respirator for long periods by distributing its weight and reducing pressure on your lower back.

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.
