3M 6055 A2 Gas & Vapour Filter Cartridges 2 Pack
Description
3M 6055 A2 Gas & Vapour Filter Cartridges - Twin Pack
The 3M 6055 is an A2 gas and vapour filter cartridge, supplied in a pack of two, that clicks onto 3M bayonet-fitting respirators to protect the wearer against organic vapours with a boiling point above 65 degrees. It is best for yard owners, grooms, farm staff and workshop users who already own a 3M 6000 or 7500 Series half mask or a 6000 or 7000 Series full face mask and need replacement filters for spraying, disinfecting or maintenance work.
Because the 6055 uses the standard 3M bayonet connection, the same filter pair fits across the half and full face mask range, so you only need to stock one filter type for several masks on the yard.
Key Features

- Lightweight and well balanced on the mask, with low breathing resistance

How to Use
- Check the substance you are working with and confirm that an A2 gas and vapour filter is the correct protection for that task.
- Inspect the respirator face piece and the filter seating area for damage or dirt before fitting.
- Remove both filters from the sealed packaging and line up the bayonet lugs with the ports on the mask.
- Push each filter in and twist clockwise until it clicks and locks into place, fitting one on each side.
- Put the mask on, adjust the harness and carry out a face seal check before entering the work area.
- Remove and replace the filters when breathing resistance increases, if they are damaged, or if you detect the odour or taste of the contaminant.

FAQ
Which masks do the 3M 6055 filters fit?
They fit 3M 6000 and 7500 Series half face respirators and 3M 6000 and 7000 Series full face respirators, and any 3M half or full face mask using the bayonet connection system.
What does the A2 rating protect against?
A2 filters provide protection against organic gases and vapours with a boiling point above 65 degrees. Always check the data sheet of the substance you are using to confirm A2 is suitable.
How many filters are in the pack?
Two filters are supplied, which is one matched pair for a twin-filter respirator.
Are these filters difficult to change?
No. The bayonet fitting means each filter is lined up, pushed in and twisted until it clicks into place, so no tools are needed.
Will the filters block my view while working?
The trapezoidal shape is designed to sit low and wide on the mask, which gives an excellent field of vision compared with bulkier cartridge shapes.
When should filters be replaced?
Replace them in line with the instructions supplied with your respirator, or sooner if breathing becomes harder, the filter is damaged, or you can smell or taste the contaminant.
