OVERVIEW

Restore Optimal Performance with the 3M Versaflo M-170 Head Insert

The 3M Versaflo M-170 Head Insert is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the 3M Versaflo M-Series family of respiratory headtops. As a genuine OEM part, it ensures that your safety equipment maintains the rigorous standards set by 3M for respiratory protection, structural integrity, and user comfort. This insert serves as the internal framework for the headtop, playing a vital role in the distribution of air from the breathing tube across the user's breathing zone.

Compatible with a wide range of assemblies, including the M-100, M-200, M-300, and M-400 series, the M-170 is versatile and essential for facility managers maintaining a diverse fleet of PAPR equipment. Over time, internal components can endure stress from daily use, cleaning, and handling. Replacing the head insert when it shows signs of wear or damage is crucial for ensuring that the headtop sits correctly on the suspension and that the visor seals properly against the frame. This part is engineered to exact specifications to guarantee a seamless fit with existing M-Series shells and suspensions.

Installation of the M-170 is straightforward, allowing for quick maintenance turnarounds that minimize downtime for workers. By maintaining the internal structure of the headtop, you ensure that the airflow is directed as intended—reducing fogging and providing the cooling effect that makes the Versaflo system a preferred choice in industrial environments. Whether you are refurbishing older units or stocking critical spares for on-site maintenance, the M-170 is a fundamental part of your respiratory safety inventory.
