The Bullard 88VX Series airline respirators, when properly
used, provide a continuous flow of air from a remote air
source to the respirator wearer. 88VX Series respirators
offer protection from airborne contaminants that are not
immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), or that do
not exceed concentrations allowed by applicable OSHA,
EPA, NIOSH, ACGIH, or other regulatory standards and
recommendations.
88VX Series airline respirators are approved by NIOSH
(TC-19C-293 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 Standard
Z89.1-1997 Type 1 Class C requirements for protective
headwear for industrial workers. The cape is designed to
protect the worker's body from abrasive rebound.
88VX Series respirators are compatible with breathing air
sources such as breathing air compressors or Bullard
Free-Air
®
Pumps. Bullard offers the appropriate approved
breathing tube assembly and air supply hose to connect
the 88VX Series respirator to these breathing air sources.
88VX Series respirators are approved by NIOSH for use
with optional climate control devices offered by Bullard.
