3M Versaflo TR-800-PSK Painter PAPR Assembly with M-206 Facepiece

3M Versaflo TR-800-PSK Painter PAPR Assembly - Purpose-Built for Spray Painting and Automotive Refinishing

The 3M Versaflo TR-800-PSK is a complete Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system purpose-built for spray painting, automotive refinishing, and industrial coating applications. This comprehensive kit integrates all essential components for effective respiratory protection in environments exposed to organic vapors, acid gases, and fine particulates, including intrinsically safe Class I, II, and III Division 1 areas.

At the heart of this assembly is the TR-802N blower unit, intrinsically safe and compliant with UL 60079, 6th edition (2013). This motor delivers a continuous flow of filtered air to the M-206 facepiece - a half-facepiece specifically engineered for painting and finishing operations. Unlike the hood-based ECK assembly, the M-206 facepiece provides direct visibility and enhanced comfort for painters working in close proximity to treated surfaces, while maintaining a reliable seal.

The BT-20L short breathing tube is a defining feature of the PSK: its reduced length facilitates movement in painting postures, minimizing drag and perceived weight. Filtration is handled by the TR-6510N HEPA P100 combination cartridge, protecting against organic vapors, acid gases, and solid and liquid particles - comprehensive coverage for automotive paint environments including isocyanates and finish aerosols.

The TR-830N rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides 4 to 8 hours of runtime depending on conditions, enabling full workdays without interruption. The TR-642N single-station battery charger is included. The lightweight TR-627 waist belt ensures comfortable belt-mounted wear throughout the shift.

The kit also includes: TR-6500FC filter cover, TR-6600 pre-filter, TR-971 airflow indicator to verify active airflow, TR-653 filter cover, BT-922 transport bag, and TR-838 battery installation tool.

Key Benefits for Painters

Designed Specifically for Painting

The M-206 facepiece and short BT-20L hose are optimized for the movements and postures inherent to spray painting, offering freedom of movement and a reduced profile for confined finishing spaces.

Intrinsically Safe Compliance

Compliant with UL 60079, 6th edition (2013), Class I/II/III Division 1, this system is approved for potentially explosive environments such as regulated professional paint booths.

Triple-Action Protection

The TR-6510N HEPA P100 cartridge simultaneously protects against organic vapors, acid gases, and particulates - complete coverage for paint solvents, isocyanates, and finishing aerosols.

Optimized Battery Life

The TR-830N rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers 4 to 8 hours of runtime. The included TR-971 airflow indicator allows real-time monitoring to confirm protection is active and compliant.

NIOSH-Approved

NIOSH-approved for professional PAPR use. Engineered to meet the most stringent respiratory protection requirements in the finishing and coating industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TR-800-PSK and the TR-800-ECK?

The primary difference lies in the facepiece: the PSK (Paint Spray Kit) includes the M-206 facepiece, a half-facepiece optimized for painters. The ECK (Economy Complete Kit) uses the S-433L hood that covers the entire head. The PSK's BT-20L hose is also shorter than the ECK's, making it better suited to painting postures. The PSK is recommended for automotive refinishing and industrial painting; the ECK is more commonly used in medical or general industrial settings.

What is the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) with the M-206 facepiece?

When used as a complete NIOSH-approved PAPR system with the TR-802N motor, this assembly provides a high assigned protection factor. Refer to current NIOSH standards and applicable workplace regulations to determine the specific APF applicable to your work situation and contaminants of concern.

Is the TR-800-PSK compatible with additional chemical cartridges?

The included TR-6510N cartridge already covers organic vapors, acid gases, and HEPA P100 particulates. For environments requiring protection against other specific chemical contaminants, consult the 3M Versaflo selection guide to identify cartridges compatible with the TR-802N motor. The TR-802N accepts the full range of Versaflo TR-6000 series cartridges.
