OVERVIEW

Protective FR Cover for Airplus PAPR Breathing Tube

The Walter Airplus Breathing Tube FR Cover (AP-BT-FR) is a specialized accessory engineered to preserve the integrity of the breathing hose within the Walter Airplus Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. Manufactured from high-grade flame-resistant materials, this protective sleeve serves as a robust barrier against the thermal hazards inherent in industrial welding and fabrication environments. By effectively shielding the corrugated breathing tube from direct contact with welding sparks, molten spatter, and radiant heat, the cover prevents premature material degradation, punctures, and potential leaks that could compromise the respiratory protection factor of the unit.

Designed for a precise fit, the AP-BT-FR encapsulates the standard Airplus breathing tube without interfering with the airflow or the flexibility required for operator mobility. The cover is lightweight yet durable, ensuring that it does not add unnecessary bulk to the welder's gear. Installation is straightforward, allowing for quick setup and removal during routine equipment maintenance and inspection. For facilities adhering to strict safety protocols and looking to maximize the return on investment of their PAPR systems, this FR cover is an essential component that significantly reduces the frequency of hose replacements due to thermal damage.

FAQ

It protects the Walter Airplus breathing tube from damage caused by welding sparks, spatter, and heat.

Yes, the cover is made from flame-resistant (FR) fabric designed for welding environments.

It is specifically designed for the Walter Airplus PAPR system, though it may fit others with similar dimensions, compatibility is only guaranteed for Airplus.

No, this product is the protective cover only. The breathing tube is sold separately.

No, the FR cover is designed to be flexible and moves with the hose so it doesn't restrict your movement.

You simply slide the breathing tube through the cover before connecting it to your helmet and blower unit.

It is generally recommended to clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions for FR garments to maintain its fire-resistant properties.

Breathing tubes are vulnerable to burns and punctures from sparks. A cover prevents this damage, keeping you safe and saving money on replacements.
