The 6000 Drop Down Series
facepiece is the latest innovation in
half facepiece design. The facepiece
incorporates a unique drop down
head harness system so that workers
outside the contaminated area can
more easily communicate without
totally removing the respirator. It
is designed for workers who wear
hard hats or hard hats with liftable
faceshields. With this system, the
facepiece drops straight down onto
the chest by detaching the neck strap.
Features & Benefits
• Workers do not need to remove
the hard hat to remove the
facepiece. Simply detach the
neck strap and facepiece drops
to the worker’s chest.
• Eliminates the tendency of
workers to wear the head cradle
over the hard hat.
• The head cradle will adjust to the
individual worker’s head size.
• New, durable straps will hold
their elasticity longer.
• The upper strap adjustment is
on the head cradle so the strap
ends do not interfere with the
worker’s vision.
• The exhalation valve is
protected by the valve cover,
increasing worker confidence
in challenging conditions.
• The exhalation valve cover
directs the air downward,
helping to eliminate fogging
of the faceshield.
• The facepiece is available with
spare parts.
• Use with 3MTM 2000 Series,
5000 Series, 6000 Series and 7093
filters, cartridges, and accessories.
