airfed mask kit
NS Dev - 10/10/06 at 10:31 AM

have put a post in the wanted section, but does anybody on here have an airfed mask kit that is surplus to requirements?

I could do with one with a charcoal filter on the airline if poss.

Make sure you have an oil trap between the compressor and the filter, I spent a night in hospital gasping for breath a few years ago because the air fed mask was also supplying a light oil mist from the piston compressor. I didn't feel or smell a thing when I was painting, just feinted afterwards - woke up in hospital. NOT TO BE RECOMMENDED

oooh errrr!

I have two filter regulators "in series", one on the top of the compressor and one on the wall....will these do the trick?

I was also after a mask kit where you have a charcoal filter on the waistbelt bit, I presume this should clear out the last of the yuck??

Should be OK if the equipment is reasonably new, I was working in a 2 bit bodyshop at the time, most of the gear was secondhand and a bit ropey
