The 3M Versaflo V-100-HIK kit prepares a supplied air solution for hot heavy industry workstations. Its V-100 valve can reduce the temperature of air delivered to the headgear, distinguishing this assembly from simple airflow regulation. M-307 headgear, a breathing tube and an air hose are included. This kit operates from an external breathing air supply; it contains neither a powered blower nor a battery to recharge.

Why choose a cooling kit

The V-100 distinguishes this kit through air cooling, allowing up to 50 °F of temperature reduction in operation. The contents combine M-307 headgear and connecting elements through to the W-9435-25 air hose. Workstation preparation must start with breathing air supply and assembly pressure requirements.

Recommended Applications at hot workstations

The kit can be assessed for hot workstations involving powder coating, painting, spraying and powder handling. In a shop, the air line requires hose routing and workstation breathing air availability to be planned. Select industrial use according to the approved combination and task conditions rather than connecting the equipment directly to an arbitrary shop air network.

Features and benefits

• V-100 valve allows an air temperature reduction of up to 50 °F.
• M-307 respiratory hard hat is included in the heavy industry kit.
• BT-30 length adjusting tube and BT-926 high temperature cover equip the worn connection.
• 25 ft W-9435-25 straight air hose uses an industrial interchange fitting.
• TR-325 belt, V-112 comfort pad and V-199 muffler/adapter accompany the assembly.

Use limitations

Do not use this system in atmospheres containing less than 19.5% oxygen, with unknown contaminant concentrations, or that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). The valve does not turn shop air into breathing air. Protection against gases, vapours or particulates depends on the air supply and complete approved combination. An oxygen deficient or explosive atmosphere does not become accessible simply by choosing supplied air. Have the appropriate system and approved configuration determined for the hazard. Supply pressure and hose length must follow the instruction table for the selected assembly.

Detailed assembly contents

Arrange an external breathing air supply at the workstation separately.

Integration into a respiratory protection program

The supplied air program must define breathing air supply, hose routing and the valve, hose and headgear combination. Select respiratory accessories for this exact assembly. Preparation forms part of overall respiratory protection selection, with training and checks before work.

Technical specifications and certifications

V-100 series supplied air system with an industrial interchange fitting and 25 ft W-9435-25 straight hose. Air temperature reduction can reach 50 °F. NIOSH approval concerns the complete approved combination rather than the valve or headgear alone. Sold as one kit.

Care and service life

Before each use, inspect the hoses, fittings and valve exterior. Check headgear condition and perform the tests prescribed for the selected combination. Clean the V-100 exterior according to its instructions without improvising an internal cleaning method. Replace worn or damaged parts and store the kit dry at room temperature. Air hose storage should preserve connections for the next assembly.

FAQ: the V-100-HIK supplied air kit

Does the kit operate from a battery?

No. It uses the V-100 valve and an external breathing air supply. No blower or battery is supplied.

Which headgear is included?

M-307 respiratory hard hat headgear is included with the BT-30 length adjusting tube and BT-926 cover.

What cooling can be expected?

The V-100 valve allows an air temperature reduction of up to 50 °F. This is an air temperature reduction rather than a guaranteed final temperature.

Is an air hose supplied?

Yes, the 25 ft W-9435-25. Required pressure depends on the instruction table for the selected combination.

Can I connect the valve to any shop air network?

A breathing air supply and approved combination are required. A shop compressed air network is not automatically a breathing air supply.

Complementary suggestions

For a technician preparing the cooling air kit before painting, plan ParaActiv Pro cut-resistant yarn and split-leather gloves (G132) for preliminary handling. Clear Virtua Max glasses (YA11872) with a foam gasket support checks outside the headgear. The Independence ratchet helmet (TA14LR) serves separate tasks outside the M-307 assembly. A women's orange and navy work coverall (V5514F2C) and yellow Attention tape (ECT3YF1) organize workstation preparation according to task hazards.

For care of the actual kit, M-307 headgear (RM307), the BT-30 tube (RBT30), and the BT-926 cover (RBT926) renew matching components. Where the workstation requires radiant heat protection, the M-973N shield (RM973N) is intended for the M-307 and must be fitted according to its own instructions. The V-100 valve, V-112 pad, W-9435-25 air hose and V-199 muffler remain identified by model. For another supplied airline (RV300DA) configuration, compare the V-300DA dual airline assembly separately; it requires its own approved air supply and connections.
