Breathing Air Supply Hoses and Hose Fittings
NIOSH-approved Bullard air supply hose(s) MUST be used between the breathing tube connection fitting on the wearer’s belt and the point-of-attachment to
the air supply (see Figure 1). NIOSH-approved Bullard quick-disconnect fittings MUST be used to connect V20 hose lengths together. When connecting lengths
of V10 hose, only use Bullard V11 hose-to-hose adaptors. Secure connection(s) until wrench-tight and leak-free.
Total connected hose length and number of hoses MUST be within the ranges specified on the Breathing Air Pressure Table (see page 13-19) and the res-
pirator’s NIOSH approval labels (see pages 2 and 7). The breathing tube connection fitting MUST be secured to the belt that is supplied with this respirator.
Securing the air entry connection fitting helps prevent the air supply hose from snagging, disconnecting or pulling the respirator off your face.
