Respirator questions

Which North cartridges fit which masks? All N-Series cartridges and filters use the North N-Series connector; the manufacturer's NIOSH approval label on each cartridge lists the approved facepiece series (7700, 5500, 7600, 5400, RU6500, RU8500, RU8800, 7800). Each cartridge page carries its list.

Which Dräger filters fit which masks? X-plore Bayonet filters fit the X-plore 3300, 3500 and 5500; Rd40 (EN 148-1) filters fit the X-plore 6300, 6530, 6570, FPS 7000 and Panorama Nova; X-plore 8000 filters fit the X-plore 8500 and 8700 PAPR blowers (Dräger product information).

How is a respirator chosen under OSHA? 29 CFR 1910.134(d): the employer evaluates the hazard (chemical state, physical form, concentration), picks a NIOSH-certified respirator adequate for it, uses the assigned protection factors in Table 1, and for gases and vapors uses an ESLI or a change schedule. The hazard pages carry the paragraphs.

Do you sell SCBA? No. We list air-purifying, powered air-purifying, continuous-flow supplied-air and escape respirators from North and Dräger.
