Product Information
Full details
This Portwest Combination Filter (ABEK1P3) is designed for professionals needing robust protection against a wide range of airborne contaminants, including organic/inorganic acid gases, vapors, ammonia derivatives, and solid/liquid particulates. Its key benefit is offering dual protection (gas and dust) in a single, lightweight unit. A caveat is that it's specifically designed for use with the Portwest P410 Half Mask and must be used in pairs.

How do I know when to replace the filters?

Can I use these filters with other mask brands?
No, these filters have a specialized thread connection and are designed exclusively for use with the Portwest P410 Half Mask.
Do I need to use two filters?
Yes, this filter is designed for pair use only with the Portwest P410 Half Mask to ensure proper function and balance.
What does the P3 classification mean?
P3 classification signifies high-efficiency filtration for solid and liquid particulates, capturing at least 99.95% of airborne particles.
How should I store the filters when not in use?
Store filters in a clean, dry, airtight bag, away from direct sunlight, heat, and contaminants to maintain their integrity and performance.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty breathing or increased resistance
The filter may be clogged or at the end of its service life. Replace both filters with new ones.
Filter does not screw onto the mask properly
Ensure you are using the correct Portwest P410 Half Mask and that the filter's thread is clean and undamaged. Do not force the connection.
Leaking around the mask seal
Perform a user seal check. Ensure the mask is fitted correctly to the face and that all seals are clean. Check filters are properly attached.
Unpleasant smell or taste detected
The filter may be saturated or ineffective against the specific contaminant. Replace filters immediately and investigate the contaminant source.
