88VX

Series Airline Respirator

User Manual

The Bullard 88VX Series airline respirators, when properly

used, provide a continuous flow of air from a remote air

source to the respirator wearer. 88VX Series respirators

offer protection from airborne contaminants that are not

immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH), or that do

not exceed concentrations allowed by applicable OSHA,

EPA, NIOSH, ACGIH, or other regulatory standards and

recommendations.

88VX Series airline respirators are approved by NIOSH

(TC-19C-293 Type C and CE) to provide respiratory

protection in general purpose applications including

heavy- and light-duty abrasive blasting, and Type C and

CE painting applications. The protective helmet meets

ANSI Standard Z89.1-2003 Type 1 Class C requirements

for protective headwear for industrial workers. The cape

is designed to protect the worker’s body from abrasive

rebound.

88VX Series respirators are compatible with breathing

air sources such as breathing air compressors or Bullard

Free-Air

Pumps. Bullard offers the appropriate approved

breathing tube assembly and air supply hose to connect

the 88VX Series respirator to these breathing air sources.

88VX Series respirators are approved by NIOSH for use

with optional climate control devices offered by Bullard.

Read all instructions and warnings before using this respirator. Save this manual for future reference. Failure to follow

these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
