The 3M Speedglas 06-0700-85 air diffuser is the part that distributes breathable air inside 9100 FX-Air welding helmets. Placed at the outlet of the air duct, it guides the flow supplied by the powered or supplied-air system toward the breathing zone, for a steady, cool feeling behind the shield. When the diffuser is damaged or distorted, the air is less evenly distributed: replacing it restores the comfort 3M intended. Black part sold individually, designed only for 9100 FX-Air helmets.

Features and benefits

• Distributes breathable air inside the 9100 FX-Air helmet.
• Fits at the outlet of the 26-0400-55 air duct of the same family.
• Restores steady, comfortable air circulation behind the shield.
• Genuine replacement part, sold individually.
• Reserved for 9100 FX-Air helmets: does not replace parts of 9100-Air helmets.

Applications and uses

The diffuser is used to maintain 9100 FX-Air helmets used with an Adflo powered air-purifying respirator or a breathable air supply. It is found in fabrication, industrial maintenance, construction and heavy infrastructure shops, for welding as well as grinding. The maintenance lead keeps it with the other air-circuit parts.

Fitting and compatibility

On the 9100 FX-Air helmet, the 06-0700-85 diffuser works with the 26-0400-55 air (26-0400-55) duct and the 26-0099-28 face seal (26-0099-28). Air arrives through the breathing tube, for example the self-adjusting SG-30W (RSG-30W) tube.

Care and inspection

After use, wipe the inside of the helmet with a damp cloth, without rinsing, immersing or using solvents. Inspect the diffuser and air circuit before each shift: a cracked, distorted or loose part is replaced immediately to keep the air supply evenly distributed.

FAQ: the 06-0700-85 air diffuser

Does this diffuser fit the 9100-Air helmet?

No. It is designed for 9100 FX-Air helmets; the 9100-Air has its own air-circuit parts.

What does the diffuser do?

It distributes the breathable air coming from the duct toward the breathing zone of the helmet.

Is the air duct included?

No. The 26-0400-55 duct is ordered separately.

How should it be maintained?

Wipe with a damp cloth, without rinsing, immersion or solvents, then inspect before each shift.

When should it be changed?

As soon as it is cracked, distorted or no longer held correctly in place.

Complementary suggestions

With an FX-Air helmet, the breathing air comes from the Adflo; the welder adds SecureFit SF401 glasses (YASF401) under the visor and leather welding gloves (G605) with a wing thumb. A flame-resistant FR-Tech shirt (V129), Kevlar sleeves (VS21P) with a thumb hole and the H505B earmuff (H505B) complete the outfit.
