    Description

    The 3M™ GVP-100 is a belt-mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) unit that delivers a continuous, high-flow stream of filtered air to compatible headgear. Designed for industrial use, this lightweight system enhances worker comfort, supports longer wear times, and enables flexible filter and cartridge configurations depending on hazard type and work environment.

    Key Features

    Continuous Airflow Delivery: Supports consistent airflow between 7.0–9.5 CFM, exceeding NIOSH minimums for user protection.
    Lightweight Design: Weighs only 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) to reduce worker fatigue during extended shifts.
    Long-Term Reliability: Delivers up to 1,000 hours of blower life with 8-hour battery runtime (NiCd rechargeable).
    Wide Compatibility: Integrates with a broad range of 3M™ headgear—hoods, helmets, bump caps, and full facepieces.
    No Fit Testing Required: When paired with loose-fitting headgear, it eliminates the need for tight face seals or qualitative fit tests.
    Cooling Effect: Steady airflow helps reduce heat buildup inside the hood or helmet for greater wearer comfort.

    Intended Use

    The GVP-100 is ideal for workers in industrial environments where powered respiratory protection is required for gas, vapor, or particulate hazards. Its flexibility and comfort make it suitable for applications requiring long periods of wear or full head coverage without tight-sealing masks.

    Assembly lines and mechanical repair technicians
    Metal fabrication and surface preparation teams
    Industrial painting and coating operations
    Marine and shipyard maintenance crews
    Mining and underground operations
    General manufacturing and oil & gas processing environments

    Certifications and Standards

    NIOSH Approved: Meets NIOSH standards for powered air purifying respirators when used with appropriate filters and headgear.

    OSHA Compliance Support: Helps facilities meet OSHA requirements for respiratory protection in environments with airborne contaminants.
