3M™ Supplied Air Systems
To meet the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requirement for minimum (4
CFM/115 lpm) and maximum (15 CFM/424 lpm) air flow, the air control valves approved for use with the
3M 6000 Series Half Facepiece Respirators must be operated within the correct supply pressure ranges and
hose lengths. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
OSHA standard 1910.134 requires that employers provide breathing air which shall "meet at least the
requirements of the specification for Grade D breathing air as described in Compressed Gas Association
Commodity specification G-7.1-1997." Failure to do so may result in sickness or death. The 6000 Series
Half Facepiece Respirator itself DOES NOT provide Grade D breathing air or air that meets CSA Standard
CAN3-Z180.1-00.

Assembly of 3M Dual Airline Breathing Tubes

1. Hold the facepiece in front of you so that the 3M logo is facing you. Align the two branches of the
breathing tube over the two bayonet mounts on facepiece. For the 3M™ SA-1500 or SA-1600 Breathing
Tubes, make sure that 3M logo on breathing tube and on half facepiece are both facing towards you. For
3M SA-2500 or SA-2600 Breathing Tubes, make sure that the 3M logo on breathing tube is facing in
opposite direction to 3M logo on half facepieces. (Fig. 6) 3M SA-1500/SA-2500 shown.
2. Twist each branch of breathing tube clockwise a quarter turn until it is firmly seated in the bayonet and
cannot be turned further. (Fig. 7 and 8) Do not forcibly overturn as the bayonet could be damaged. 3M
SA-1500/SA-2500 shown.
3. Attach airline to approved air regulators per pressure schedules in dual airline operator's manual.
Assembly of 3M Combination Dual Airline Breathing Tubes with Cartridges
and/or Filters
The 3M SA-1600 (front-mounted) and SA-2600 (back-mounted) versions of the 3M dual airline breathing
tubes allow use of selected, NIOSH-approved 3M 6000 series cartridges and 2000 series filters. For listing of
approved cartridges and filters, reference NIOSH approval label included with 3M dual airline breathing
tubes. To assemble 3M dual airline breathing tubes with cartridges and/or filters, do the following:
1. Remove inhalation valves from facepiece and store them so they remain flat. (Fig. 9)
