3M™ Dual Airline Respirator Assembly
User must follow Dual Airline Supplied Air Respirator User Instructions provided with the 3M™ Dual Airline Supplied Air Respirators.
Assembly of 3M™ Dual Airline Breathing Tubes
1. Hold the facepiece in front of you so the 3M logo is facing you. Align the two branches of the breathing tube over the two bayonet mounts on
facepiece (Fig. 10). For SA-1500 or SA-1600 Breathing Tubes, make sure the 3M logo on breathing tube and on facepiece are both facing towards
you. For SA-2500 or SA-2600 Breathing Tubes, make sure the 3M logo on breathing tube is facing in opposite direction to 3M logo on facepiece.
2. Twist each branch of breathing tube clockwise a quarter turn until it is firmly seated in the bayonet and cannot be turned further (Figs. 11 and 12).
Do not forcibly overturn as the bayonet could be damaged.SA-1500/SA-2500 shown.
3. Attach airline to approved air regulators per pressure schedules in dual airline supplied air respirator User Instructions.
Assembly of 3M™ Combination Dual Airline Breathing Tubes with Cartridges and/or Filters
The SA-1600 (front-mounted) and SA-2600 (back-mounted) versions of the dual airline breathing tubes allow use of selected, NIOSH-approved 3M™
Cartridges, 6000 Series, and 3M™ Filters, 2000 Series. For the listing of approved cartridges and filters, reference the NIOSH Approval Label included with
Dual Airline Adapter Kits.
1. Remove the inhalation valves from the facepiece as described in the "Replacement Parts Instructions" section of these User Instructions and store
them so they remain flat.
2. Attach SA-1600 or SA-2600 breathing tubes to facepiece per the procedures outlined previously. The procedure is identical to the attachment of
the SA-1500 and SA-2500 models.
3. Make a selection of cartridges and/or filters that meets your respiratory protection requirements, and attach to the outer bayonets of SA-1600 or
SA-2600 breathing tubes (Fig. 13).
4. Don facepiece per procedures outlined in the "Donning Respirator" section of these User Instructions.
5. After being properly fit tested, perform a positive and negative pressure user seal check each time the respirator is donned per procedures outlined
in the "User Seal Checks" section of these User Instructions.
If you cannot achieve a proper fit, DO NOT enter contaminated area. See your supervisor.
To assemble 3M™ Dual Airline Combination Breathing Tubes with 3M™ Cartridges/Filters, the facepiece inhalation valves must be removed.
IMPORTANT: If the facepiece is to be used in air-purifying mode (without using the SA-1600 or SA-2600 breathing tubes), the inhalation valves must
be replaced in the facepiece before use.
Using the 3M™ Combination Dual Airline Breathing Tubes without Cartridges and/or Filters
To use the combination dual airline breathing tubes (SA-1600 and SA-2600) without cartridges or filters, attach a 3M™ Bayonet Cap 6880 to
each outer bayonet mount on the dual airline breathing tube. When used as a straight, Type C, continuous flow supplied air respirator, the Assigned
Protection Factor is 50 times the PEL, OEL or TLV guidelines for half facepiece respirators.
