Moldex 8000 Series User manual

8000
SERIESRESPIRATOR
GAS/VAPOR/PARTICULATE
YOUR FACE NEVER HAD IT SO COMFORTABLE.
The 8000 Series Respirator conforms to
the contours of your face. It seals comfort-
ably. And remains sealed, even while talk-
ing. Plus, the seal is extra-wide, so it fits
more facial types.
WITH EACH CARTRIDGE CHANGE YOU GET A NEW
INHALATION VALVE.
No inhalation valves to stock. No installa-
tion. Less maintenance, less parts. And the
cartridges snap-in, which eliminates mis-
threading.
LOW MAINTENANCE.
No gaskets, no yoke. There’s less to
worry about.
LIGHTWEIGHT.
Whether you use gas/vapor cartidges or
disks/filters, the 8000 weighs less. Plus, the
weight is distributed evenly, without pres-
sure points.
A BETTER VIEW.
The low profile provides a larger field of
vision than any other respirator. And makes
it easier to wear safety eyewear. Plus straps
don’t dangle in front of the worker’s eyes.
Soft, Durable facepiece.
Extra-wide sealing surface.
Seals comfortably to face.
Exhalation valve positioned
for better communication.
Low profile for wide field
of vision.
Cartridges have a snap-in
mount for easy replacement.
New-inhilation valve on each
cartridge.
New technology P100 disks
are extra-lightweight.
Fewer replacement parts.
Living hinge allows head
harness to be folded
comfortably around neck
when not in use.
