3M FT-14 Test Hood For Respirator Fit Testing - Bitter Solution Compatible

About This Product

Safety managers and industrial hygienists, this 3M FT-14 test hood is essential equipment for proper respirator fit testing in workplaces. This hood creates the test environment needed for qualitative fit testing using bitter solutions to check if respirators are sealing properly on workers' faces. It works seamlessly with 3M's FT-10 and FT-30 fit test apparatus, as well as the FT-20 training case. What's great about this system is that it can test pretty much any type of respirator - disposable ones, reusable models, even gas/vapor respirators that have particulate prefilters. The bitter solution method is straightforward and effective - if the person being tested can taste the solution through their respirator, you know the seal isn't right. I've conducted hundreds of fit tests using this equipment, and it's consistently reliable for ensuring workers have proper respiratory protection. The hood design contains the test atmosphere effectively while still being comfortable for the person being tested. Whether you're in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, or any industry where respiratory protection is required, this test hood is crucial for compliance with OSHA and other safety regulations. It's professional-grade equipment that delivers accurate results you can trust. Definitely a must-have for any safety program that includes respiratory protection.
