The SPEEDGLAS Adflo Spark Arrestor (part number 836000) is a replacement component designed specifically for the 3M Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system. It is essential for welders and industrial workers who rely on the Adflo system for respiratory protection in environments with airborne sparks and particulates.

This spark arrestor functions by preventing sparks from entering the Adflo PAPR unit, thereby protecting the internal filters and maintaining the respirator's effectiveness. Regular inspection of the spark arrestor is critical; users should check for any signs of damage or wear and replace the part immediately if any defects are found. Additionally, while inspecting the spark arrestor, it is recommended to examine the filters for cracks, damage, or breakthrough and replace them as necessary to ensure optimal respiratory safety.

Maintaining the spark arrestor in good condition is vital for the health and safety of users, as it helps prevent sparks from compromising the filtration system of the Adflo respirator. This component supports the overall integrity and performance of the respiratory protection system in welding and fabrication environments.
