The BP1000 provides the benefit of locating cartridges and filters on the user's back and out of the work zone. This is especially desirable in environments with high heat or sparks, such as welding, coke and smelting operations. Simply attach the backpack to the facepiece cartridge connectors, then fasten the appropriate cartridges or filters to the backpack. No modifications, tools or extra components are needed. The renowned fit and comfort of North's half masks and full facepiece gives the user unsurpassed protection and makes acceptance easier.
Common components reduce inventory and maintenance costs.
The BP1002 Backpack Adapter Twin swivel fittings connect directly to North facepiece cartridge connectors without modifications, tools, or extra parts such as gaskets. Twin swivel fittings will not accidentally come off the facepiece if impacted during use as rigid, click and turn connectors may. Cartridges and filters are worn over the back, out of the work zone and out of the user's way. Soft, flexible hose near the facepiece reduces the strain on the face seal. Can be purchased separately to convert existing North air-purifying facepieces.
