The Chin-Type Gas Mask is a protective system

consisting of a full facepiece and canister. The

small, round plastic canister attaches directly

to the facepiece. The system is designed to

permit downward head movement.

The Chin-Type Gas Mask is designed for

respiratory protection against a specific gas

or group of gases as indicated by canister

identification. See the canister table for

specific canister approvals. From a practical

standpoint, gas masks are generally suitable

for ventilated areas with relatively stable

contaminant concentration levels. They should

never be used in confined spaces or where

oxygen deficiency and high gaseous concentrations

may occur. Gas masks may also be

used for escape only from atmospheres in

which the contaminant concentration does

not exceed the maximum use condition of the

gas mask.

Facepieces

Whether you choose the Advantage 3100,

Ultravue or Ultra Elite facepiece, all three are

available in three sizes to accommodate a wide

range of users. The Advantage 3100 facepiece

has a silicone rubber facepiece, while the

Ultravue and Ultra Elite facepieces are available

in a choice of silicone or Hycar rubber.

All have a scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens

that provides a wide field of vision. Optional

lens cover accessories provide even greater

scratch resistance. All three facepieces

feature a nosecup that helps reduce lens

fogging in low temperature conditions or in

high-humidity conditions.

Belt-Mounted Version

The belt-mounted version of the Chin-Type Gas Mask allows the

wearer to mount the chin-style canister on a support belt. This

shifts the weight of the canister to the hip, providing greater

comfort for some wearers. The belt-mounted version is also

recommended for welding or grinding operations, as the canister

can be positioned away from sparks or molten metal. An optional

spark cover is available to protect canister from spark damage.

The additional parts needed are listed below. See page 16 for

Welders Adapters, lenses and protective hood.
