Compressor Volume
Requirements – Approximately 20 CFM (566 lpm) per 3M™ Air Control Device.
Noise Level –
Less than 80 dBA within the headgear; excluding external noise.
The length of compressed air hose W-3020 used depends on the specifi cations of the low-pressure air pump utilized. Some pumps specify
a minimum of 50 feet (15.2 meters) or 100 feet (30.5 meters) of hose to allow adequate cooling of the air heated by the pump's mechanism.
Read the pump’s instructions thoroughly before selecting the compressed air hose W-3020 length that will be used. NO PUMP IS TO BE USED
WHICH COULD CAUSE AIR HOTTER THAN 160ºF (71ºC) TO ENTER THE COMPRESSED AIR HOSE W-3020. Air hotter than 160ºF (71ºC) will
cause the hose to degrade, which would adversely affect respirator performance and
may result in sickness or death.
Discussion on Respirable Air
Many older compressed air systems may provide air that is unfi t for human respiration without secondary air treatment. This is due largely to the
presence of objectionable oil vapors and odors. Rules and regulations governing air quality when using compressed air for respiration are quite
specifi c.
Precautions must be observed when using compressed air for breathing purposes.
Oil mist from the compressor lubricating oil must not be present when the air reaches the air control device. Excessive amounts of water vapor and
any particulate matter should also be removed as they may affect performance of the air control devices. The schematic diagram of the air purifi er
and pressure regulator equipment shows what should be installed in the main airline ahead of the connection for the breathing air hoses (Fig. 1).
If a pre-assembled air fi ltering and regulating device is desired, 3M offers several compressed air fi lter and regulator panel assemblies. These
assemblies contain a specially designed filter cartridge to help remove oil mist and vapors, condensed moisture, particulates, odors and vapors.
They come completely assembled and are ready for connection between the compressor and supplied air respirator system. These air filtering
and regulating devices do not ensure Grade D breathing air as required.
Note: Carbon monoxide-
Although it is theoretically possible that oil lubricated compressors can create carbon monoxide (CO) if the compressor
overheats, studies have shown that the location of the compressor’s air intake is the most likely source of carbon monoxide contamination.
1
According to OSHA regulation [29 CFR (1910.134)(i)], periodic CO monitoring, rather than continuous CO monitoring with an alarm, is acceptable
if the oil lubricated compressor is equipped with a high temperature alarm and automatic shut-down. In Canada, follow CSA Z180.1 regarding oil
lubricated compressors.

Air purifi cation and regulation equipment.
To meet the NIOSH requirement 42 CFR 84, subpart 84.150 for minimum and maximum airfl ow (6 to 15 cfm, 170 to 425 lpm), the air control
devices approved for use with 3M headgear must be operated within the supply pressure ranges and hose lengths stated in the Special or
Critical Use Instructions. Failure to do so may adversely affect respirator performance and
result in sickness or death.
You must comply with OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.134, which states that, “Airline couplings shall be incompatible with outlets for other gas
systems to prevent inadvertent servicing of airline respirators with nonrespirable gases or oxygen.” In Canada, refer to the requirements of
CSA Standard Z180.1 or the authority having jurisdiction in your region.
Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
Your employer must provide breathing air that meets at least the requirements of the specifi cation for Grade D breathing air, as described in
the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G-7.1in the United States. In Canada, refer to CSA standard Z180.1, table for the
quality of compressed breathing air.
Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
The line pressure must be kept within safe limits, 125 psig (8.75 kg/cm
2
) maximum. Dirt, oil and water, unless trapped or fi ltered out, may
continue do
wnstream in concentrated form and adversely affect the performance of the respirator and
may result in sickness or death.
