Safety masks

20 years ago

I put this on the forum before,but,as the resident gadfly about safety issues,I'll remind all you newbies:No safety,no fun!

For a mask,and I've had quite a few,from paper to respirator style,I don't believe you can go wrong with the North 7700 series air respirator.Lightweight,I can wear it for hours without fatigue and still have excellent visability.The cartridges are easy to replace.

Here in BC,Pacific West has them in stock.And,think about it,their business is all about concrete,nothing else.So,I take their recommendation at face value.

They have several locations in the Lower Mainland.

I believe the product website is northsafetyproducts.com.

The mask is useless without the RIGHT combo of filters for the job.
KMS Tools has the filters on sale right now.
Lee Valley Tools will also sell you an excellent mask via the internet in both the US and Canada.

It's a good idea to keep your mask in a plastic bag when not in use. Filters will last MUCH longer.

David-which filters are on sale at KMS?Are they the purple ones?Which masks are you referring to?
Again,I went to the pros;at 40 odd dollars,the North is an excellent fit and comfort.

Hi Rick
I lost my flyer but they had several types on sale on sale.
They should fit your mask.
I bought an extra set with my mask I haven't needed to use them yet.
I was told to replace them when I could smell the Xylene with the mask on.
I have a filter for chemicals like Xylene and a particulate filter for dust. I cover them with a chunk of cloth from an air filtration bag held on with an elastic band. They last long as the fabric catches most of the dust.
