Enhanced Comfort and Protection for Grinding Operations
Offering both respiratory and dermal protection, Bullard's GR50 is the first hood-style airline respirator designed especially to meet the challenges encountered in grinding operations. The lightweight outer hood, made from Nomex®, protects the operator's entire head, face, and neck from sparks and airborne particulates. The inner bib, made from flame-retardant cotton, is an added protective barrier. Applications in which the GR50 airline respirator can be used include grinding and metalworking.
For workers who use compressed breathing air, Bullard's GR50 is complete with Nomex® respirator hood, breathing tube, and a choice of belt-mounted, quick-disconnect airline fittings. The GR50 can also be used with convenient and low-cost Bullard Free-Air® pumps. Bullard V10 and V20 air supply hoses, sold separately, are available with point-of-attachment fittings for breathing air compressor systems or ambient air pumps.
- Continuous airflow is delivered through a unique neck cuff, maintaining positive pressure inside the hood to help keep contaminants out.
Comfortable and Durable
- Weighing only 12 oz. (340 g), Bullard's GR50 is a lightweight alternative for workers accustomed to wearing heavier helmet-type respirators during grinding.
- When worn with a Bullard hard hat, the hood meets ANSI Z89.1-1986 requirements for protective headwear.
- A variety of climate control devices allow workers to cool incoming air to meet their comfort requirements, helping to boost productivity.
Flexible Hood and Window
- In operations performed in tight spaces, the flexible hood and window enhance worker mobility.
- The inner window, made of 0.040 (1 mm) acetate, stands up to a variety of chemicals.
No Fit-Testing
- One size fits all. Fit testing is not required.
- Hood easily accommodates beards, hearing protection, prescription eyewear, or safety glasses.
Maximum Visibility
- Wide-angle faceshield and headband suspension system are positioned to create the maximum viewing area.
- Replacement outer lens helps protect inner lens from sparks and debris, extending the usable life of the product.
