Long-pipe respirator is mostly used in poor environment, such as sewer cleaning, narrow confined space operations. The cleaning and maintenance of the long tube respirator after use must be worthy of everyone's attention, and if the special protective equipment is not properly maintained, it will seriously affect the next use.

Long tube respirator cleaning and maintenance instructions:

First, cleaning

1. Remove the breathing tube from the gas mask.

2. Remove all parts from the mask, such as headbands, positive pressure connectors, and breathing valve assemblies.
