FAQs
Are the filters included with the mask?
No, filters are sold separately. This mask requires compatible Portwest filters: P902, P921, P941, P952, or P971.
How do I clean the polycarbonate visor?
Clean the visor with a mild soap and water solution. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings.
What is the certification for this mask?
The mask is certified to EN 136 Class 2 and CE-CAT III standards, indicating a high level of protection.
Can I use this mask with any brand of filters?
No, this mask is specifically designed for use with Portwest filters P902, P921, P941, P952, and P971 only. Using incompatible filters will compromise safety and is not recommended.
How often should I replace the filters?
Filter replacement frequency depends on the type of contaminant, concentration, and duration of use. Always follow the filter manufacturer's guidelines and replace them when breathing resistance increases, or when indicated by a service life indicator if applicable.
What is the warranty period for this mask?
Please refer to the Portwest warranty documentation for specific details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.
Is this mask suitable for protection against gases and vapors?
Yes, provided you use the correct combination of particulate filters and gas/vapor cartridges (sold separately) that are compatible with this mask and rated for the specific gases and vapors present.
Troubleshooting
Mask does not form a proper seal.
Ensure the 6-point harness is adjusted correctly and evenly. Check for facial hair or obstructions that might prevent a seal. Inspect the mask's face seal for any damage or deformation.
Visor fogs up excessively.
Ensure the exhalation valves are clean and functioning correctly. Verify that the mask is not being worn too tightly, which can increase moisture buildup. Ensure filters are correctly attached.
Difficulty breathing.
Check if the filters are clogged or expired. Ensure filters are correctly attached and undamaged. If the issue persists, the filters may need replacement or the environment may require a higher level of respiratory protection.
Filters are difficult to attach or remove.
Ensure you are using the correct Portwest-compatible filters. Check the bayonet mounts on both the mask and the filter for debris. Do not force filters; they should click into place securely.
