245367 - Miller FR Breathing Tube Cover for Titanium 9400/9400i PAPR

Essential Protection for Industrial PAPR Systems

The Miller 245367 Breathing Tube Cover is a critical accessory designed to safeguard the integrity of Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems in heavy industrial environments. Specifically engineered for the Miller Titanium 9400 and 9400i PAPR configurations utilizing the New Headgear, this cover provides a robust layer of defense against the hazards inherent to arc welding, gouging, and grinding operations. In industrial hygiene applications, the breathing tube serves as the vital link between the blower unit and the welder's helmet; compromising this component can lead to system failure, loss of positive pressure, and potential exposure to hazardous fumes.

Constructed from high-grade flame-resistant (FR) materials, the 245367 cover is built to withstand direct exposure to welding sparks, molten spatter, and radiant heat. Without this protective sleeve, the standard corrugated breathing tube is susceptible to burn-throughs and abrasions that can render the entire PAPR assembly non-compliant with safety standards. By utilizing this OEM cover, safety managers and operators can significantly extend the service life of the breathing tube assembly (sold separately as part number 245218), thereby reducing long-term maintenance costs and downtime associated with equipment replacement.

Compatibility is a key factor when selecting PAPR accessories. This specific cover is tailored for the Titanium 9400 series and is not compatible with the newer T94 or T94i series helmets, which utilize a different assembly geometry. Ensuring the correct match between the cover and the PAPR model is essential for maintaining the ergonomic balance of the unit and ensuring that the breathing tube remains flexible and unencumbered during use. The cover installs easily over the tube, providing a secure fit that does not interfere with the airflow or the welder's range of motion.

Investing in the Miller 245367 FR Breathing Tube Cover is a proactive measure in asset protection. It ensures that the sophisticated respiratory equipment remains in optimal condition, allowing welders to focus on their tasks with the assurance that their safety gear is protected against the harsh realities of the industrial shop floor.
