Howard Leight AS-1 Flanged Rubber Earplugs 27 Db 50 Pairs

Product Description

The HOWARD LEIGHT AS-1 is a flanged rubber earplug designed for noise reduction in industrial and trade work environments. With a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 27 dB, these earplugs provide reliable hearing protection in high-noise settings such as mechanical rooms, job sites, and equipment areas. The flanged, no-roll insertion method allows for quick placement without rolling or compressing the plug before insertion. Each package contains 50 pairs in a universal fit size, making them suitable for stocking in tool bags, service vans, or facility safety stations. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals commonly keep multi-pair packs on hand for daily use or to supply a crew.

The AS-1 earplugs are intended for use in occupational environments where sustained or intermittent high-noise exposure is a concern. Their universal sizing accommodates most users without fitting adjustments. The uncorded design eliminates the risk of cord entanglement with rotating equipment or tools. Blue coloring aids in visual identification during use and in safety audits. These earplugs are suited for general industrial applications across construction, mechanical, and utility trades.

Installation Notes

Earplugs should be inserted by a trained worker following OSHA and ANSI S3.19 guidance for proper fit and NRR performance. Hands should be clean before handling and inserting earplugs to prevent contamination of the ear canal. Inspect each pair before reuse and discard if the flanges show cracking, deformation, or soiling that cannot be cleaned. Consult your site safety officer or industrial hygienist for guidance on hearing conservation program requirements.
