Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the S-657 and the S-633 or S-633L?

The S-657 stands out with its inner collar and superior quality headgear, which provide a better seal and improved retention. The S-633 and S-633L models are standard headcovers without these additional components, suited for less demanding sealing requirements.

Is this headcover compatible with all Versaflo motors?

Yes, the S-657 headcover is compatible with all 3M Versaflo PAPR motors in the TR-300 and TR-600 series, as well as Versaflo supplied air systems. Verify compatibility with your supply coupling.

Does the S-657 protect against gases and vapors?

No. The headcover alone does not filter gases or vapors. Protection against these contaminants is provided by the filters mounted on the PAPR motor or the supplied air system to which the headcover is connected.

Can safety glasses be worn under the S-657?

Yes, the transparent vision window of the S-657 is large enough to allow safety glasses to be worn inside the headcover if needed.

Complementary suggestions

For complete protection during painting, mechanical assembly or industrial cleaning operations, combine this headcover with complementary personal protective equipment. The sleeves in Tyvek 400 (VS18) protect forearms from splashes during painting and assembly work. The gloves in latex-coated cotton (GS15KGV30N) provide good grip and resistance to light chemicals. Safety bifocal glasses Virtua Max (YA11515) can supplement eye protection if the headcover vision window is not rated for the specific task. Add a 3M H9A earmuff (OPH9A) for hearing protection in noisy environments, and a cotton apron (VT1262) for additional body protection against splashes. Accessories, for the 3M Versaflo S-Series headcover family, also explore the white headcover M/L size (RS133L), the integrated headgear S/M size (RS133S), and the white hood Large size (RBS433L5), all compatible with 3M Versaflo PAPR and supplied air systems.
