Msa 66716 Abrasi-blast Airline Respirator Hood

Product Description

The MSA 66716 is an Abrasi-Blast airline respirator hood designed to provide supplied-air respiratory protection during abrasive blasting and other high-hazard operations. The hood connects to a clean, compressed-air supply line, delivering breathable air to the wearer while a durable outer shell shields the head and face from rebounding abrasive media. This type of respiratory protective equipment is typically selected and installed by industrial hygienists, safety officers, or qualified tradespeople working in blast rooms, shipyards, and heavy industrial environments.

The 66716 is suited for applications where ambient air quality is severely degraded by abrasive particulate, dust, or fumes. Common use cases include abrasive blasting with steel shot or grit, surface preparation in industrial and marine settings, and certain welding and firefighting support scenarios where head and face protection alongside supplied-air is required. The hood is part of the MSA Abrasi-Blast product series and is sold as a single unit per package.

Key Features

• Compatible with the MSA Abrasi-Blast series for coordinated head, face, and respiratory protection
• Rated for welding and firefighting support applications in addition to abrasive blasting
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use within the MSA Abrasi-Blast series. Supplier data indicates suitability for welding and firefighting applications. Verify airline connection fittings and hose diameter against your existing supplied-air system before installation.

Installation Notes

Airline respirator hoods must be fitted and used by personnel trained in respiratory protection programs compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134. Before donning, confirm the supplied-air source delivers clean, Grade D breathing air at the correct flow rate and pressure for this hood type. Inspect all airline connections, fittings, and the hood shell for damage prior to each use. Never connect this hood to a nitrogen, argon, or other non-breathable gas supply line.
