The RPB 16-078-21-FR Z-Link Respirator is a complete, all-in-one supplied air and welding protection system built for hazardous environments. This kit combines the comfort of the Z-Link powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with a flame-resistant cape and an integrated auto-darkening weld visor. It solves the critical problem of inadequate respiratory and physical protection for welders operating in areas with fumes and potential fire hazards by delivering constant, filtered, and cool breathing air directly to the operator while providing essential head and neck defense.
- Enhanced Safety: The Zytec FR (Flame Resistant) Shoulder Cape (16-721) and FR PX5 PAPR Assembly offer superior protection against sparks, heat, and fire hazards.
- Increased Efficiency: The Weld Visor with Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) (16-670) is built directly into the headtop, enabling a seamless transition between welding and surface prep without the need to switch equipment.
- Guaranteed Compatibility: This kit includes all necessary components—the Z-Link headtop (16-010-21), breathing tube (04-831), and PX5 PAPR Assembly (03-801-FR)—ensuring correct setup and immediate use.
This comprehensive respiratory and head protection kit is best suited for professional welders, shipbuilders, metal fabricators, and workers in heavy industrial maintenance who require a high level of respiratory protection from fumes and particulates alongside integrated face and neck defense in high-heat or spark-risk environments.
The complete system meets NIOSH compliance requirements.
