SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
This section serves as an illustration of the major components of the 3M™ Dual Airline Systems, not including the half or full
facepiece respirator. A descriptive listing of the individual components is found later in this section.
SA-1115
Discussion on Respirable Air
Many older compressed air systems may have air that is unfit for human use without secondary air treatment. This is due largely
to the presence of objectionable oil vapors and odors. Rules and regulations governing air quality when using compressed air for
respiration are quite specific. Precautions must be observed when using compressed air for breathing purposes.

Check Valve
Fig. 1
Oil mist from the compressor lubricating oil must not be present when the air reaches the air control device. Excessive
amounts of water vapor and any particulate matter should also be removed as they may result in unpredictable behavior of
the air control device. The schematic diagram (Fig. 1) of the air purifier and pressure regulator equipment shows what should
be installed in the main airline ahead of the connection for breathing air hoses.
If a pre-assembled air filtering and regulating device is desired, 3M offers several compressed air filter and regulator panel
assemblies. These assemblies contain a specially designed filter cartridge to help remove oil mist and vapors, condensed
moisture, particulates, odors and vapors. They come completely assembled and are ready for connection between the
compressor or compressed air bottle and the supplied air respirator system.
NOTE:
Use of these devices does not ensure the
delivery of Grade D breathable air.
NOTE: Carbon monoxide
Although it is theoretically possible that oil lubricated compressors can create carbon monoxide (CO) if the compressor
overheats, studies have shown that the location of the compressor’s air intake is the most likely source of carbon
monoxide contamination
1
. According to OSHA regulation [29 CFR (1910.134)(i)], periodic CO monitoring, rather than
continuous CO monitoring with an alarm, is acceptable if the oil lubricated compressor is equipped with a high
temperature alarm and automatic shut-down. In Canada, follow CSA standard Z94.4 or the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction in your region.
