The Bullard GenVX Series airline respirators, when properly used, provide
a continuous flow of air from a remote air source to the respirator wearer.
GenVX Series respirators offer protection from airborne contaminants
that are not immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), or that do not
exceed maximum use concentrations allowed by applicable OSHA, EPA,
NIOSH, ACGIH, or other regulatory standards and recommendations.
GenVX Series airline respirators are approved by NIOSH (TC-19C-0489,
TC-19C-0491, TC-19C-0492, TC-19C-0493, TC-19C-0494, TC-19C-0495,
TC-19C-0496, TC-19C-0498, Type C and CE) to provide respiratory protection
in general purpose applications including heavy- and light-duty abrasive
blasting, and Type C and CE painting applications. The protective helmet
meets ANSI/ISEA Standard Z89.1-2009 Type 1 requirements for protective
headwear for industrial workers, and ANSI/ISEA standard Z87.1-2010, Z87+
High-Impact Face Protection. The cape is designed to protect the worker's
body from abrasive rebound.
GenVX Series respirators are compatible with Grade D breathing air
sources such as breathing air compressors or Bullard Free-Air
Bullard offers the appropriate approved breathing tube assembly and air
supply hose to connect the GenVX Series respirator to these breathing air
sources. Air supply hose must be purchased separately.
GenVX Series respirators are approved by NIOSH for use with optional
climate control devices offered by Bullard.
NOTE: Bullard air supply hose is not included in the purchase of respirator
assembly and must be purchased separately. Bullard air supply hose must
be used in order to maintain respirator assembly compliance.

In the past, Bullard has tested after-market or “pirate” air control valves. In these tests, only four (4) CFM of air was allowed into the breathing zone. Incoming air flow is very important to the respirator user and is instrumental in keeping contaminants out of the breathing zone of the respirator user. -
