General Description
These 3M
TM
Airline Adapter and Regulating Kits, when used in conjunction with a 3M™ 6000DIN or 7000
Series Full Facepiece, create a slight positive pressure atmosphere. The slight positive pressure helps to
prevent airborne contaminants from entering the headpiece. These kits when used in a complete system
(supplied air hose, valve, breathing tube and headpiece) are classified as a Type C or CE supplied air
respirator by NIOSH.
W-3061 Air Regulating Kit
This air regulating kit is designed to provide those 3M full facepiece respirators which are approved for use
with it, a continuous airflow of 4 to 15 cfm (115 to 425 lpm). The control knob is set manually between
upper and lower airflow limits to suit the comfort requirements of the user.
W-3060-25, W-3060-50, W-3060-100 Airline Adapter Kits
These adapter kits are designed to provide those 3M full facepiece respirators which are approved for use
with it, a continuous airflow of 4 to 15 cfm (115 to 425 lpm). The control knob is set manually between
upper and lower airflow limits to suit the comfort requirements of the user. The user may choose the kit that
includes the hose length to best fit their application, either 25, 50 or 100ft.
W-3197 Air Regulating Kit-low pressure (7-12 psig)
The 3M™ Low Pressure Air Regulating Kit is designed to provide those 3M full facepiece respirators which
are approved for use with it, a continuous airflow of 4 to 15 cfm (115 to 425 lpm). When used as part of an
approved system with the 3M™ Supplied Air Hose W-3020, the W-3197 will provide airflow within the
specified range when the air pressure at the point of connection for the hose is between 7 and 12 psig (0.5 to
0.8 kg/cm
2
), dependent on the hose length.
NIOSH Approval
Any NIOSH approval appearing on these air control devices is strictly limited to its use in an approved
system only in full accordance with the specifications and limitations under said approval.
These 3M™ Airline Adapter and Regulating Kits are to be used with 3M™ 6000DIN or 7000 Series Full
Facepieces as specified in the NIOSH approval. When used as directed by the NIOSH approval, and in
accordance with the use and maintenance instructions, these systems can provide positive pressure supplied
air respiratory protection.
NIOSH Cautions and Limitations
A– Not for use in atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen.
B– Not for use in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health.
C– Do not exceed maximum use concentrations established by regulatory standards.
D– Air-line respirators can only be used when the respirators are supplied with respirable air meeting the
requirements of CGA G-7.1 Grade D or higher quality.
E– Use only the pressure ranges and hose lengths specified in the User’s Instructions.
J– Failure to properly use and maintain this product could result in injury or death.
M– All approved respirators shall be selected, fitted, used, and maintained in accordance with MSHA,
OSHA, and other applicable regulations.
