Field Advantages and Compatibility

All-in-One Kit for Demanding Welders

The 38-1101-00SW kit combines the 3M Adflo motorized powered air purifying respirator with the Versaflo Series M helmet and Speedglas screen, offering an integrated solution for welders requiring both effective respiratory protection and optimal visibility. Without an ADF filter included, this kit allows the welder to choose the filter suited to their welding process and desired protection level. This flexibility is particularly useful in multi-process shops.

Priority Application Sectors

This kit is ideal for welding in confined spaces, difficult positions (overhead, vertical), and environments with high welding fume concentrations. Shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing, railway car repair, and metal structure construction industries benefit particularly. PAPR protection is mandatory in some regulated sectors and recommended for intensively exposed welders.

Integrated System Maintenance

Perform a complete system inspection before each use: check the seal between breathing hose and helmet, inspect the particulate filter, test blower airflow, and check battery condition. Clean the helmet and screen after each session. Replace consumable components per 3M recommended schedule to maintain long-term system effectiveness in the field.
