Product Information
Full details
The 3M 6059 ABEK1 Gas and Vapour Filter is designed for industrial professionals requiring reliable respiratory protection against a diverse range of organic and inorganic vapours, acid gases, and ammonia. Featuring a convenient bayonet connection, it is compatible with 3M 6000 and 7000 series respirators, offering a balanced, low-profile design that minimizes obstruction to your field of vision; however, users must note that these filters do not protect against particulates unless used in conjunction with additional 5000 series particulate filters and retainers.

FAQs
Can I use these filters for dust and sawdust?
No, these are gas and vapour filters. To filter dust and particulates, you must attach a 3M 5000 series particulate filter and a 3M 501 retainer to these gas filters.
How often should I change these filters?
Change-out schedules depend on the concentration of chemicals and usage frequency. Follow your workplace's health and safety guidelines or the 3M Select and Service Life Software tool.
Are these filters reusable?
Yes, they are designed for reusable respirators, but the carbon media within them will eventually saturate and require replacement.
What does the ABEK1 rating mean?
ABEK1 indicates protection against Organic Vapours (A), Inorganic Vapours (B), Acid Gases (E), and Ammonia (K) at Class 1 capacity.
Can I wash the filters with water?
No, never wash the filters. Moisture can damage the carbon media and render the filter ineffective.
Is this filter safe for use in IDLH environments?
No, 3M Bayonet Gas & Vapour Filters must never be used in environments that are Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH).
Troubleshooting
Difficulty breathing through the filter
The filter may be saturated or clogged. Replace the filter immediately.
Smelling contaminants while wearing the mask
Check the seal of the facepiece against your face. If the seal is correct, the filter has reached its capacity and must be replaced.
Filter will not lock onto the respirator
Ensure the bayonet ports are clean and free of debris. Align the arrows and apply light pressure before twisting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the filter, align the notched bayonet connection on the filter with the matching port on your 3M facepiece. Insert the filter and twist clockwise until you feel a secure 'click' or locking sensation.
Compatibility: This filter is compatible with all 3M 6000, 6500QL, and 7500 series reusable respirators. If you need to add particulate protection, you must attach the 3M 501 Retainer and the corresponding 5000 series particulate filter on top of this gas filter.
Care: Store unused filters in a cool, dry, and contaminant-free environment. Never clean the filters with liquids; replace them immediately if you notice an increase in breathing resistance, or if you can smell, taste, or feel irritation from contaminants in the air. Always follow a documented change-out schedule based on your specific workplace hazards.
