261086 - Miller LPR-100 Quantitative Fit Test Adapter Kit

Precise Quantitative Fit Testing for Miller Respirators

The Miller 261086 Quantitative Face-Fit Test Kit is a critical accessory for industrial safety programs and occupational health compliance. Designed specifically for the Miller LPR-100 and LPR-100 O/V Half Mask Respirators, this kit bridges the gap between the personal protective equipment (PPE) and industry-standard testing machinery. In environments where respiratory hazards are prevalent, ensuring a proper face seal is not just a recommendation—it is often a regulatory requirement under OSHA standards for mandatory tight-fitting facepiece use.

This kit enables the administration of Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT). Unlike qualitative methods that rely on the wearer's subjective response to taste or smell (such as Bitrex or saccharin protocols), quantitative testing uses a machine to measure the actual amount of leakage into the facepiece. The Miller 261086 kit includes two specialized adapters and the necessary tubing to connect the LPR-100 respirator directly to a TSI Portacount Fit Test Machine. This connection allows the machine to sample the air inside the mask relative to the ambient air, calculating a precise "Fit Factor." This numerical data provides indisputable evidence of whether a specific mask size and model provides adequate protection for a specific individual.

Implementing this testing protocol helps identify the specific make, model, style, and size of respirator best suited for each user. By utilizing the Miller 261086 adapters, safety officers can conduct these rigorous tests without permanently modifying the respirator or compromising its integrity. The kit is straightforward to install, allowing for efficient processing of multiple employees during fit-testing sessions. It is an indispensable tool for facilities aiming to maintain the highest standards of respiratory protection and documentation.
