AIR QUALITY
This respirator must be supplied with clean
breathable air at all times. Breathable air
must at least meet the requirements for Type

HOSES AND FITTINGS
RPB air supply hoses and fittings must be
®
used between the point of attachment and
the respirator breathing air connection at the
wearer's belt. The hose sections must be
within the correct length and the amount of
sections must be within the number specified
in the breathing air pressure table on page 10.
BREATHING AIR PRESSURE
The air pressure must be continually
monitored at the point of attachment. Air
pressure must be read from a reliable
pressure gauge whilst the respirator ha air
flowing through it.
!WARNING!
Failure to supply the minimum required air
pressure at the point of attachment for the
length of air supply hose could result in

contaminants being inhaled as the pressure
in the helmet may become negative due to
peak inhalation flow when working at very
high work rates. The RPB
Air Pressure table on page 10 defines the
air pressure ranges needed to provide the
respirator with a volume of air which falls in
the required range of 6-15cfm or 170-425
