How to extend the life of your 3M RESPIRATOR mask FILTERS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I use this respirator setup when I make surfboards, which is a very dusty environment combined with lots of chemical vapors/fumes. I wanted to share with you how I get the most life out of my vapor respirator filters by using the 3M 502 adapter. The 3M 60921 NIOSH filters are meant for fumes, meaning they can filter the chemical vapors experienced in making surfboards (vapors/fumes are smaller than particulates/dust like sanding dust). If you just have one respirator with filters meant for vapors, and you use it in a dusty environment, the larger particles of dust will clog your filters probably faster than the vapor filter capacity is worn out. By using the 502 adapter, you can attach a sanding particulate filter to the outside of your vapor filter, which will catch the bigger particles before they get a chance to clog up your vapor filter. I still suggest you change out your vapor filters often, but at least it won't get clogged with sanding dust after just one day. Then you can change out the sanding filter if it's all dusty, but not the vapor filter, until it's worn out

That is exactly the video I was looking for.
2 years later, I'll add - put a little dessicant pack in with your mask in the ziplock bag to prevent mold/mildew due to humidity. You know, those things you get in retail boxes and meds that you probably throw away 😢.
You can microwave those silica beads to drive out the moisture and rejuvenate them btw!
@@chang.stanley Holy crap, never knew that. Thanks for the tip! Rejuvenate the rejuvenator.
@@Armageist No problem!
When I went through tactical training in my survival class I was taught the way you just did that it can also block radiation in a nuclear crisis so this is vary well worth the money and it's a budget friendly way to prepare for a nuclear fallout my instructor was in the navy seals he used his 3M in combat and he says they are great for tactical situations
Oh, cool to know! My friend who works in a Navy shipyard said they do this too!
I think those adapters are technically single use and need to be replaced with the dust filter when it is used up. 3M say that reusing the adaptors could allow dust to be inhaled. That's why they come in packs of 20. The single ones for sale are just a scam basically.
You can get an adaptor for 5000 series chemical filters that you can reuse with 5000 series shaped dust filters. It's called the 3M Filter retainer 501.
Yeah, I can see why they say they're single use, bc the snap on feature is super tough to get off and put on another one. But if there's any leakage, I'd think the vapor cartridge would catch it. The 501s are a good option too 🤙
How often we need to replace the catrige?
Good tips. Still works against COVID
Greetings from La Paz, Bolivia!!!
Thanks you help me a lot 🤘
I am so happy to hear it helped you! THANK YOU for the nice comment. :D
You should check pricing, it's probably cheaper to use a 3M 501 and a 3M 5N11 that clip over. The you're using I believe IS a one time use, but ONLY when removed from the primary filter-- you CAN swap the dust filter on the twist on housing.
The 5N11s are for sure cheaper! The 501 + 5N11 combo is a good option, but for me, since there's so much surfboard foam dust in the room that I glass, the ease of dusting off some of the excess dust build up, + potentially less waste, I can use the pink 2097s for a little longer rather than change out the 5N11s more often🤙
The pink filter is like 100x more "filtering power" than the white 5N11. P95 vs P100. And it lasts a lot longer.
The best all rounder is to get the 6006 cartridge plus P100 attched to it via adapter. This set up goes thru anything etc; any work u're doing,oil,dust,particles,paint or even covid-19 virus.. so far this is the best all rounder set up for me and according to my research.. 👍
Thank you great ideas and always looking for improve protection when spraying home weed or bug killer . Used a similar mask when shopping because of covid a few times . Get a lot of funny looks .
Me too! LOL
thank you for this video. I'm from Vietnam and n my country, it have a lot of fake 3M mask. So i have research all day with english video to find out what kind of mask suitable for me to make epoxy resin. Kind of sad, i think most of people in Vietnam dont know how to protect their health while using fake mask (that cost $33 for full option - mask, filter, cartridge), and also because the auth mask quite expensive :( Anw, i will order 3M mask from China (it have cheaper price than amazon) and how glad that I know that 3M have adapter live you used in this video. (my english is not good yeah). So, thank you againnnn!!!
oh can I ask 2091 and 2097, which is much better ?
gardeners fabric works well for big particles to, extends life to :] just got to get litl crafty
Oh! Gardener's fabric? Never heard of it, sounds neat though!🤙🏽
I use 501 with 5911 filters I am wodering if this is the same, because 5911 are for dust as well
Great information! Thanks so much.
You are so welcome! Thanks!
Great Information bro.
Glad it was helpful! 🤙
Hey man! I’ll gladly buy a pair of those adapters from you!
The adapters are only one time use, it's not to be put on and put off, check the 3M videos anda data, if you put on and put off it could leak and you don't have seal anymore
Thanks, I could see why, since the snap on feature is very hard to remove once you get it on there. But if there's any leakage under the 2097s, the vapor cartridge will hopefully catch it 🤙
How long do the p95 p100 last in a zip lock bag
Mate, one of the most important things is Sanding in a Sealed Wind Tunnel. Down Draught booth. My room is so clean, as the sanding disk cuts the fiber, that dust is flying away and DOWNWARDS & away from my face. Been working in EU and these guys are CLUELESS or non- compliant with basic Health Regulations.
I traditionally stuff a napkin inside the mask or a rag before I put it in the freezer bag
Oh good idea!
Have you tried vacuuming the pink component which may clog with dust?
Legend
can you smell cigarette odor / smoke with that setup?
Hey! I'm pretty sure you can't smell it unless it creeps in through the rubber gasket where the mask is touching your face, I've found usually this happens if the mask isn't the right size for your face🤙🏽
There another adapter that's small and white that goes over your 6001 paint respirator it's basically a n95 that goes over your 6001 and there cheaper and easier that the adapter you showed
Oh cool! What's it called?
I have a 6001 cartridge but the adapter won’t snap on unless I take out the foam inside. Is that okay or is the adapter/ cartridge the wrong fit?
What would you recommend for resin ?
bought one of those china $22 respirator of amzon, should I be smelling fumes with it on?
No
How long do the pink circle filters last , if I were to use it to clean my pigeon coop ?
great video! Where did you get your screensaver? i love it!
Thanks! It's just a youtube video playing in the background lol Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/1IkY0_qONRk/v-deo.html
Hi, thanks for the video, I just wanted to comment that if any oil based aerosol get into that 2079 you got to throw it after 40 hours or 30 days (based on manufactures recommendation). Not sure if you knew about that, so you must be sure of what you're working with to avoid that. Cheers
Thanks for the tip! I've heard of the 40 hour rule too🤙
Hey Dust and fumes! First off, i bought the 3M 60926 (gold colored) cartridge. Do you know if that is adequate for painting (regular household painting walls)?
Also, under your description, i guess people were suggesting looking into the 3M 501 filter retainer, do you know how it works? I think it's a good option considering a 20pack of the 502 is almost $70 (and alot of people were saying it's one time use). With the filter retainer and replacements, are we able to just pop on and off the cartridge cover and replace it with the filter retainer and on intervals replace the cotton filter? If you don't have experience with it then I understand.
However, for your setup, how often are you replacing the filter adapter? Im just worried because i'm planning on removing popcorn ceiling and this requires painting and the actual removal of potential asbestos containing popcorn ceiling. So, a setup like this would be very helpful if not life saving! Thanks in advance.
I think the 3M 60926 should be ok for painting vapors and popcorn ceiling dust. Here's what I found with the specs from 3M for the 60926 cartridges: www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000057497/
As for the 502 filter adapters, it allows you to add an additional particulate filter on top of your vapor cartridges. They say it's single use, and it is pretty hard to snap on and off, but in my experience (mainly surfboard building in dusty and fume-filled environments) they last at least the life of a couple of lives of vapor cartridges(40hours per set before changing out). The pack of adapters is pretty pricey bc it's probably mainly for contractors and others using lots of them for a team, but I have a link in the description box to single pairs on Amazon. For the 501 retainers (not adapters), I'd use them just for holding the P95 (thin) filters on top of the 6001 vapor cartridges if that makes sense. For my use, the P95 thin filters iare ok, but not as good as when I use the 502 adapters to mount a 6001+2097 on top. (All these model numbers I'm referring to are 3M). Hope this helps🤙
only 10 months late here… wondering if you are still selling any 3M respirator filter adapters???. I have a 3M Safety 142-6100 6000 Series Reusable Half Face Mask Respirator, Small.
Sorry, no, they went really fast, but check the links in our description if you've been trying to track them down :)
Sir in my country these masks are of 2015 available and are not opened...but Google says they have 5 years of shelf life...so is it ok to buy? please help me
Hello, I am from Argentina but there is still the google xd translator I would tell you not to buy it since the 6200 or ----- series have rubber, that rubber like that of tires or shoe soles has a useful life time and then it cracks and transform slowly in to dust, they lost elasticity too, so if they are already 5 years old with what they cost they will not last long and you will have wasted money
@@VostockR wrong completely, it completely depends where its stored if it's stored inside and not exposed to the sun and heat it should be as good as new, I have 10 year old brand new 3M 7502 from 2009 from the H1N1 pandemic they are still working 100% just like new
@@INDOSABERS My mistake, I put 7500 but the 7500 is made of silicone that lasts for a very long time, maybe like 20 years. I myself have a 7501 and I put matte black vinyl on the plastic, in addition to adapter filters made in a 3d printer with which I cut the SMS fabric and put another circle of cotton on it and it looked great and I don't have to spend more on filters anymore the SMS fabric is very good like 90-95% at filtering articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-851104399-filtro-universal-mascara-3m-6000650075007800ff-400-_JM
Well I think it's advertised as not reusable but is it possible to reuse? Thoughts please thank you
If you're talking about the cartridges, I reuse them
Hello
How are (Gas Cartridge Particulate 7093), (Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge 60926) and (Organic Vapor Cartridge 60921) P100 Filters are different?
Which should we use for better protection against covid?
For covid, I'm not sure, but I can tell you that my 60926 and 60921 both don't let polyester resin smells through. I haven't tried the 7093s
Todos los que digan P100 son para covid-19, los 7093 sirven para covid-19.
Do these work better than the 501 and 5N11 filters?
I'd say the filtration and capturing of particles is about the same, but with the pink 2097s it's easier to dust off some of the excess dust before needing to change it out, if that makes sense. So about the same filtration, but better ease of use
Your not accomplishing anything by "dusting off" your particulate filters...............
Yeah, not much, just getting the big surface particles off, doesn't hurt 🤷♂️
@@dustandfumes the filters won't struggle to filter big particles, so again your not accomplishing anything......
I did not know there were cats in Hawaii
There's lots of cats in Hawaii. Unfortunately there's even a feral cat problem here
You stole my cat!
Black cats rule!
This is not a very informative video because I was too distracted by that cute ass cat to learn anything. 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️
Brah, I just hold my breath…… Nah really.
