Versaflo Breathing Tube | 3M BT30



Key Features & Benefits

  • Flexible helix design automatically adjusts tube length for wearer comfort and reduces snagging risk.
  • Quick-Release Swivel (QRS) connection enables fast, one-handed attachment/detachment to headtop or air source.
  • Compatible with all approved 3M Versaflo headtops and air-delivery units, enabling versatile system integration.
  • Lightweight construction reduces load on user while maintaining reliable air delivery during extended wear.
  • Smooth internal airflow path ensures unrestricted clean-air supply when used as part of a full respirator system.

×
  • Self-adjusting helix length: BT-30’s flexible helix dynamically adjusts to the wearer’s movement, improving comfort and reducing risk of catching or snagging during work.
  • Quick-release swivel connection: The QRS coupling enables easy one-handed connect/disconnect between breathing tube and headtop or air delivery unit, aiding fast donning/doffing.
  • System-wide compatibility: Designed to interface with all approved 3M Versaflo headtops and air supply units, enabling flexible respirator configurations across different tasks.
  • Lightweight, flexible construction: The tube’s vinyl/ polymer material keeps weight low and maintains flexibility, minimising user fatigue during extended wear.
  • Unrestricted airflow delivery: Internal tube design ensures clean, consistent airflow from air source to headtop, supporting effective respiratory protection when used within a complete Versaflo system.
  • Manufacturing & General Industry: Use in PAPR systems for tasks such as painting, sanding, coating, welding, and maintenance where clean-air supply is critical.
  • Chemical / Pharmaceutical Plants: For operations requiring respiratory protection and clean air supply, e.g. chemical handling, processing, contamination-controlled zones.
  • Construction & Maintenance: For onsite use in construction, infrastructure maintenance, industrial cleaning, or similar environments with dust, fumes or particulate hazards.
  • Oil & Gas / Petrochemical / Heavy Industry: For supplied-air or powered-air systems when working in hazardous atmospheres, confined spaces, or environments with chemical or particulate exposure.
