Maximise operator protection with this face-mask fit-testing adaptor from 3M. It ensures that respiratory protective equipment properly fits your facial features and forms a seal that adequately safeguards against airborne hazards. The adaptor lets you thread plastic tubing through the inhalation valve and into the interior of the mask, so a sampling instrument can measure the test-agent concentration inside the respirator. This fit-test process prevents the inhalation of dangerous substances in labs and other hazardous environments, making for a safer workplace.

• Can be used to test a range of 3M face masks with a bayonet-style filter attachment for versatility• Includes plastic tubing, suction cups and a retainer clip, so it's ready to use

• Laboratories and medical facilities• Chemical processing plants• Automotive industry• Transportation industry

A respiratory mask only provides full protection against airborne hazards if it makes a tight seal with your skin. If your mask doesn't fit properly, air goes around the respirator rather than through it, which can cause you to breathe in dangerous particles. A proper mask fit also ensures that other personal protective equipment (PPE) works correctly, as devices like safety goggles can fog up if a half-face respirator isn't fitted correctly.
