Product Information :
Provides respiratory protection against particulate matter, vapors and gases by means of a lightweight, replaceable canister. The small, oval-shaped aluminum canister and facepiece are designed to permit downward head movement. This comfortable, lightweight model is an alternative to the heavier models and is designed for respiratory protection against a specific gas or group of gases as indicated by canister identification. The gas mask assembly has the following Maximum Use Conditions: Entry - 100% the Permissible Exposure Level; do not exceed the Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) concentration. Escape - contaminant concentrations up to the maximum use concentration of the gas mask (generally 5,000 ppm (0.5%) by volume; see canister selection chart for details), providing there is adequate oxygen (19.5% by volume) to support life. At these upper use conditions, the service time may be as short as 12 minutes. Also available as a belt-mounted version which allows the wearer to attach the canister to a belt clip and uses a corrugated breathing tube to connect the canister to the facepiece.

WARNING: Do not use for fire fighting.
