3MSL-122 - 3M L-Series Breathing Tube for GVP and V-Series Systems

Reliable Respiratory Connection for Industrial Safety

The 3M L-122 Breathing Tube is an essential component designed to integrate seamlessly with 3M L-Series Headgear. In the realm of industrial safety and respiratory protection, the integrity of the connection between the air source and the user's helmet is paramount. This breathing tube serves as the vital conduit that delivers clean, filtered air from a belt-mounted unit to the headpiece, ensuring that workers remain protected from hazardous particulates, fumes, and vapors found in welding, painting, and chemical processing environments.

Engineered for compatibility, the L-122 is specifically manufactured to connect L-Series helmets (such as the L-500, L-700, and L-900 series) to 3M GVP Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) or V-Series Supplied Air Valves. This versatility allows safety managers to utilize the same headgear across different air supply systems depending on the specific hazards and infrastructure of the facility. The tube is constructed from durable, flexible materials that resist kinking and crushing, ensuring a constant flow of air even when the wearer is moving through tight spaces or performing complex tasks.

Regular maintenance of respiratory equipment is a requirement for compliance with safety standards. Over time, breathing tubes can show signs of wear, such as cracks or punctures, which compromise the system's protection factor. The L-122 is designed for easy inspection and quick replacement, minimizing downtime. By using genuine 3M replacement parts, facilities ensure that their equipment maintains its NIOSH approvals and continues to provide the high level of safety expected from 3M Personal Protective Equipment.

Whether utilized in a heavy manufacturing plant or a specialized fabrication shop, the 3M L-122 Breathing Tube supports the comfort and safety of the workforce. Its lightweight design reduces drag on the headgear, helping to prevent neck strain during extended periods of use, while the secure attachment points prevent accidental disconnection during vigorous activity.
