N/A These respirators help to protect against certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the wearer must read and understand the User Instructions provided as part of the product packaging. A written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 1910.134 including training, fit testing and medical evaluation. In Canada, CSA standards Z94.4 requirements must be met and/or requirements of applicable jurisdiction, as appropriate. Improper use may result in sickness or death. For correct use, see supervisor and User Instructions.

N/A Combination Air Line

As a Type C positive pressure respirator, the Ska-Pak™ supplied air respirator can be used with various lengths of 3M™ Scott™ Supplied Air Hose for a combination of up to 12 segments, totaling 300 feet (Exception: Hansen HK, maximum number of segments is 6, maximum length is 150'.). Available with Hansen, Schrader, Cejn, Hansen HK plug or Hansen HK socket fittings.

Regulator

The benefits of the E-Z Flo pressure demand regulator start with first-breath activation and includes its low exhalation resistance, requiring less effort to breathe and less fatigue. Doffing is made simple with the E-Z Flo air-saver switch. Depressing the air-saver switch immediately stops the air flow into the mask.

Harness

The polypropylene and Kevlar® harness are lightweight with adjustable shoulder and waist belts to promote easy donning and doffing. The harness includes web adjusters and quick release buckles. A strain relief location on the waist belt prevents the regulator's air hose from tugging on the regulator during operation.

Cylinder Options

The Ska-Pak™ Plus supplied air respirator is available with the following rated cylinders, featuring the E-Z Klip cylinder retention system:

  • 5-minute 2216 psi aluminum
  • 15-minute 4500 psi carbon
E-Z Fill Cylinder Valve

Optional "E-Z Fill" auxiliary fitting facilitates direct connection to high-pressure cylinder charging systems to enhance efficiency (4500 psi only).

Facepieces

The Ska-Pak™ Plus supplied air respirator is used with the AV-series facepieces, which feature the 3M™ Scott™ Top-Down Convertibility platform, allowing one facepiece to be used in numerous respiratory protection applications, from supplied air to air purified. This one-facepiece concept reduces inventory and training costs and eliminates the need to fit-test multiple facepieces for each employee.
