3M M-series hood for TR-300 Versaflo respiratory protection systems.

3M Versaflo M Series Protective Hood: Enhanced Respiratory Safety

3M Manufacturer Code: M-976

The white hood from the 3M M Series is a replacement part designed for Versaflo TR-300 respiratory protection systems. Compatible with the RM307 rigid helmet, it serves as an effective barrier against airborne particles. This hood is ideal for industrial, pharmaceutical, or hospital environments where air quality is critical. It integrates perfectly with powered air purifying systems, ensuring full protection of the face and respiratory tract.

This hood does not provide any additional respiratory protection. The protection factor of your equipment therefore depends on the chosen facepiece. The RM307 helmet offers protection up to 1000 times the exposure limit permitted by the CNESST or any other applicable government regulation. This polypropylene hood is essentially designed to temporarily protect Versaflo TR-300 equipment from grease, spray paint, powder coatings, etc.

The hood is primarily composed of woven and non-woven polypropylene textile layers that cover the top and back of the head, the neck, and the shoulders, but not the face. Since the facepiece is already equipped with a polycarbonate face shield, it is not necessary to cover the face a second time. The hood therefore leaves the face uncovered, but its design still ensures relative sealing without obstructing visibility or breathing.

Functionality and Compatibility of the Versaflo Hood

This hood is specifically designed for the RM307  rigid helmet, used with 3M TR-300 powered respirators. It attaches easily to the helmet and provides extended coverage of the face, reducing the risk of exposure to contaminants. Its lightweight and ergonomic design allows prolonged use without discomfort, while maintaining optimal sealing.

Technical Features of the M Series Replacement Hood

The hood is made of white non-woven material, resistant to splashes and fine particles. It is designed to be used with the RM307 rigid helmet and fits TR-300 powered respiratory protection systems. This product is sold individually and is non-returnable once used, in accordance with Sylprotec’s safety policies.

Installing the Hood

Installing the hood is simple: just attach it to the rigid facepiece following the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the hood is properly adjusted and that the edges are correctly positioned to ensure complete sealing. No specialized tools are required, which facilitates quick replacement in professional settings.

Maintenance of the Respiratory Protective Hood

As a consumable item, the hood must be replaced regularly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or as soon as it shows signs of wear. It does not require cleaning but should be stored in a dry and clean place before use. Avoid handling it with contaminated gloves to preserve its integrity.

Usage Tips for Optimal Protection

Use this hood exclusively with the RM307  rigid helmet as part of the TR-300 systems. Do not attempt to adapt it to other non-compatible models. Ensure that the powered system is functioning properly and that the airflow rate complies with specifications to guarantee effective respiratory protection.
