D3 - Constant-Flow Air-Line Respirator, Hood

Synergy^® Bubble Hood Respirator

   A Type C supplied-air respirator designed to supply respiratory protection in non-IDLH atmospheres, the device can be used with a ``common" air-supply hose that is compatible with other MSA supplied-air respirators.
   A quick-disconnect socket directly connects the device to an air-supply hose and corresponding air source, eliminating the need for a control valve.  Inlet pressure is regulated at the air source.  With the ``double-bib" design, the inner bib slips inside the protective garment while the second bib (worn outside the garment), is held in place with a one inch wide nylon belt.
   Complete assemblies include hood, muffler assembly (with quick-disconnect socket and plug), approved air-supply hose and support belt.  The Synergy Bubble Hood is available in three sizes and in a choice of bib colors (blue or yellow).

Versa-Hood^™ Respirator

   Can be used anywhere a constant-flow air-supplied hood is required.
   A relatively simple device, the unit has either a shoulder-length or waist-length Tyvek hood with a wide-vision lens that is protected by a clear, disposable cover.  The hood hose is attached to the hood behind the head and connects to an air line at the unit's PVC support belt.
   Air is supplied via 8-300' of 3/8" MSA air hose connected to a plant air source capable of supplying pressures of 10-40 psig, depending on hose length.
   The unit has an adjustable suspension system for proper hood positioning.
   Users may choose models equipped with or without adjustable air-flow control valves and with either aluminum Snap-Tite or steel Foster quick-disconnect fittings.
   Order air-supply line separately.
