Description
The G1 Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR), hereafter referred to as respirator or device, is for
use in atmospheres that are NOT immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
The respirator has a battery-powered blower assembly that pulls contaminated air through air filtration
cartridges/canisters to purify it, then supplies the purified air to the facepiece for inhalation. Exhaled
air is released through the exhalation valve.
For information about approved configurations, refer to the G1 PAPR Approval Insert (PN 10192481).
2.1
G1 Facepiece
The facepiece is available in three sizes (small, medium,
large). The nosecup is available in two designs (CBRN and
non-CBRN) and three sizes (small, medium, large). The
facepiece includes a large lens to optimize field of view and
a mechanical speech diaphragm to enhance speech
communication. When the facepiece is not connected to the
APR adapter, an opening in the facepiece connection lets
airflow bypass the inhalation and exhalation valves, which
decreases breathing resistance and further enhances
speech communication. The facepiece includes a broad
range of head harness designs and material options. An
optional spectacle kit is available.
2.2
APR Adapter
The APR adapter lets you install the respirator breathing
tube on the facepiece. The APR adapter connects to the
facepiece with a push-to-connect (PTC) connection and
disconnects from the facepiece with a release button. The
APR adapter has large Rd 40 threads that let you install the
respirator breathing tube quickly and tightly.
NOTE:
The rubber neck strap (Model Number 7-2830-1)
is not approved for use with the 4-point black cloth head
harness (Model Number 7-3104-1).
