235684 - Miller PAPR Replacement Head Seal for Elite Series Helmets

Product Overview

The Miller 235684 Head Seal is a critical maintenance component designed for use with Miller Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems, specifically those configured with the Elite series welding helmet assembly. As a genuine Miller OEM part, this head seal is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring that the respiratory system functions at its rated efficiency and safety levels.

In industrial environments where PAPR systems are deployed, the integrity of the head seal is paramount. It functions as the primary barrier between the ambient atmosphere—often laden with welding fumes, particulates, and grinding dust—and the clean, filtered air supplied by the blower unit. A compromised or worn seal can lead to a reduction in positive pressure, potentially allowing contaminants to breach the breathing zone and reducing the effective Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of the unit. This replacement seal is manufactured from high-quality, flame-retardant materials that resist the thermal and physical rigors of daily welding operations.

Regular inspection and replacement of the head seal are recommended to ensure compliance with safety standards and to maintain operator health. The Miller 235684 is designed for straightforward installation, allowing safety managers and operators to perform maintenance quickly with minimal downtime. By utilizing authentic Miller parts, facilities ensure that their personal protective equipment (PPE) continues to perform as certified.
