3M 6000 Series Reusable Half Mask Respirator

3M 6000 Series Reusable Half Mask Respirator

The 3M 6000 series half mask is a reusable half face respirator that helps provide protection against particles, gases and vapours when used with an approved cartridge or filter (NIOSH). It is best for yard staff, grooms, farmers and smallholders dealing with dusty bedding, powders, sprays and solvent fumes, as well as workshop and maintenance tasks.

The face piece is kept and reused while the cartridges and twin filters are exchanged or disposed of once used to capacity, which makes it a longer-term alternative to disposable masks for people who need respiratory protection regularly.

Key Features

• Reusable design: the face piece stays in service while cartridges and twin filters are swapped or disposed of once used to capacity.
• Wide filter compatibility: works with 3M 6000 series cartridges and 2000, 2200, 7000 or 5000 series filters on the 6200 respirator.
• Quarter turn fitting: cartridges and filters twist on and off the face piece quickly, with no tools needed.
• Hazard protection: with the correct cartridge or filter, can provide protection at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).
• Airline compatible: can be used with high or low 3M Dual Airline systems, allowing easy connection between both systems.
• Half face coverage: protects the nose and mouth, leaving goggles or a visor to be worn separately where eye protection is needed.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Choose the cartridge or filter that matches the hazard you are working with, following the manufacturer's selection guidance.
2. Line up the cartridge or filter with the bayonet on the face piece and twist a quarter turn until it locks.
3. Place the mask over your nose and mouth, pull the head cradle over the crown of your head and fasten the neck straps.
4. Adjust the straps evenly so the seal sits comfortably against clean, dry skin without gaps.
5. Carry out a fit check before entering the work area and leave the area immediately if you smell or taste contaminants.
6. After use, remove the cartridges or filters, wipe the face piece clean and store it away from dust and direct sunlight.

FAQ

Are cartridges or filters included with this mask?
Cartridges and filters are selected to suit the specific hazard and are supplied separately unless the listing states otherwise. The 6200 face piece accepts 3M 6000 series cartridges and 2000, 2200, 7000 or 5000 series filters.

Can it be used more than once?
Yes. The face piece is reusable and the cartridges or twin filters are exchanged or disposed of once they have been used to capacity.

Is it suitable for mucking out and dusty bedding?
It can be used for dusty yard tasks provided a suitable particulate filter is fitted. Filter choice should always match the hazard.

How do the filters attach?
All compatible cartridges and filters attach with a simple quarter turn, twisting on and off the face piece.

Will it seal over a beard?
No. A half mask respirator needs to seal against clean skin, so facial hair along the sealing area will stop it working as intended.

Can it be used with an airline system?
Yes. The 6000 series can be used with high or low 3M Dual Airline systems, allowing flexible connection between both systems.
