Product Information
The Abrasi-Blast respirator provides respiratory and upper body protection for workers in shipbuilding, the construction industry, utilities and other applications where blasting with abrasives is performed. A complete Abrasi-Blast respirator is made up of a hood, facepiece with lens housing, breathing tube, cover lens cartridge assembly, flow-control device, approved air-supply hose and support belt. During blasting operations, the lens of the Abrasi-Blast respirator is protected by two to four flat glass cover lenses mounted in a special foam material. Each cover lens is removed by integral pull tabs when it becomes so abraded that vision is reduced, eliminating the need to stop and change lenses, as is necessary with most conventional blasting hoods. Complete assemblies include one lens cartridge consisting of four 0.06-inch untempered glass cover lenses, flow-control device, Snap-Tite aluminum quick-disconnect fitting, adjustable valve-connector body or pressure-demand regulator (with socket assembly), facepiece (medium) with dual-exhalation valves and lens housing, breathing tube, web-belt and air-hose connector.
