NORBP1002 - North BP1002 Backpack Respirator Adapter Kit

Optimized Respiratory Configuration for Industrial Safety

The North BP1002 Backpack Adaptor Hose Set is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the functionality and ergonomics of North Safety's leading respiratory facepieces. Engineered for compatibility with the 5500, 7700, 5400, and 7600 series masks, this assembly allows users to relocate their gas cartridges or particulate filters from the facepiece to a dorsal position on the back. This reconfiguration is particularly critical in complex industrial environments where frontal clearance is restricted or where the bulk of standard side-mounted cartridges interferes with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

The assembly features durable, flexible breathing tubes that connect securely to the facepiece ports, routing airflow from a manifold bracket positioned between the user's shoulder blades. This design not only streamlines the user's profile but also significantly improves weight distribution. By shifting the center of gravity away from the face, the BP1002 reduces neck strain and wearer fatigue during prolonged shifts. It is an approved accessory that maintains the NIOSH certification of the respirator system when used with genuine North cartridges and filters, ensuring that safety standards are never compromised for the sake of comfort.

Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modification to the facepiece. The hose connectors screw directly into the existing cartridge ports, creating a tight seal. The back manifold clips securely to the user's clothing or harness, keeping the filters stable during movement. This adapter is an indispensable tool for professionals in confined spaces or those requiring simultaneous face protection, such as grinding shields or welding visors.
