3M Adflo 15-0499 Replacement Cartridges, Organic Vapor and Acid Gas, Pack of 2

3M Adflo 15-0499 Replacement Cartridges, Organic Vapor and Acid Gas Protection

The 3M Adflo 15-0499 Replacement Cartridges are filter cartridges designed for the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator. These cartridges provide protection against organic vapors (including ozone fumes present in welding), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and chlorine/hydrogen chloride (HCl) through their NIOSH magenta/yellow color code. They can be layered over the 15-0299 high-efficiency particulate filter for combined particle and gas/vapor protection during welding work in environments with multiple contaminants. Compatible with Adflo 9100-Air, FX-Air 9100, 9100 MP, G5-01, and M-400SG systems.

3M Manufacturer Code: 7000128118, model: 15-0499-99X02

The 15-0499 cartridges are available in packs of 2 units (R15/0499-2) and packs of 6 units (R15/0499-6). Cartridge service life depends on contaminant concentration, temperature, and humidity. They must never be used in immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) atmospheres or in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. NIOSH approved and compliant with ANSI Z87.1-2010. Origin: Canada.

Replace 15-0499 cartridges before any perception of odor or taste:

If an odor is perceived during use, the filter is exhausted and must be replaced immediately. Establish a preventive replacement schedule based on exposure level assessment. Store cartridges in their original packaging away from light and moisture. Do not use cartridges whose packaging has been open for more than 6 months.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Are the 15-0499 cartridges compatible with all Adflo masks?

The 15-0499 replacement cartridges are specifically designed for the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator. They are compatible with Speedglas welding helmets 9100 FX-Air, 9100 MP, 9100 Air Series, G5-01, and M-400SG. They are not compatible with 3M reusable half facepieces or full facepieces of the 6000 or 7500 series, which use different bayonet cartridges. Always verify compatibility with your specific respiratory system before ordering.

What is the difference between the R15/0499-2 and R15/0499-6 formats?

Both formats contain exactly the same 15-0499 cartridges; only the quantity differs. The R15/0499-2 contains 2 cartridges (1 pair), ideal for small maintenance programs or for testing the product. The R15/0499-6 contains 6 cartridges (3 pairs), more economical for regular users and companies with multiple Adflo respirators. The cartridges are identical in performance and service life.

Can the 15-0499 cartridges be used without the 15-0299 high-efficiency filter?

Technically, the 15-0499 cartridges can be used alone in the Adflo system for protection against organic vapors and acid gases. However, in welding environments where particulate fumes are present, it is strongly recommended to use the 15-0499 cartridges in combination with the 15-0299 high-efficiency filter for complete protection. The high-efficiency filter must be installed in the Adflo system before the cartridges. Consult the workplace risk assessment to determine the appropriate filter combination.
