CAUTION
Use the strap handle to carry or hang the
respirator. Never hold, carry or hang the
respirator by the breathing tube. Mishandling
the respirator in this manner may damage the
tube or helmet inlet. Any leaks or breaks in the
breathing tube will alter the air flow through the
respirator and affect user’s safety and comfort.
3.4 Respirator Hose
WARNING
OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR
1926 require that respirator air line couplers be
incompatible with air lines for non-respirable
use. This incompatibility prevents inadvertent
supply of respirators with potentially
hazardous, non-respirable gases or oxygen. It
is the employer's or facility owner's
responsibility to comply with the regulation.

Clemco 3/8
" ID respirator hose.
3.4.2 Apply Teflon tape to the 1/4" NPT threads on the
3/8" hose to 1/4" pipe adaptor as shown in Figure 3, and
connect it wrench-tight to the female disconnect.
