Appendix F: Fit Test Adapters
54
Fit test adapters are required to create an interface between
the QuantiFit2 and the respirator. These adapters are
inserted where the filters, cartridges, or regulators mount to
the respirator. Each respirator manufacturer has its own
unique cartridges, filters, or regulators to attach to their
models. OHD matches the connections which will allow an
interface.
In the case of an SCBA, the respirator might be required to be
converted to an air-purifying respirator.
OHD testing adapters must be maintained with care. Any dents or
cracks that can occur will lose the ability to keep an air-tight seal,
which would make it inadequate for testing.
Adapters can come in a one- piece or two-piece arrangement called
"kits." The two-piece kit is for the
bayonet connection, or connections
on either side of the respirator. These
are used mostly for air purifying
respirators. The one-piece adapters
take the place of a gas filter or SCBA
connection and are typically used on
those types of respirators.
When attaching the hose assembly for testing, the blue tube always connects to the single port,
and the gray and transparent hoses connect to the two ports side-by-side. For the gray and
transparent tubes, it does not matter which connector gets which tube if the blue connects to
the single port.
Adapters can be cleaned or disinfected in various ways. A disinfectant spray can be used, or the
adapter may be submerged in a disinfectant liquid solution. The adapter must be completely dry
before the next use.
