Msa Safety 818346 N95 Respirator Filter Pad

Product Description

The MSA SAFETY 818346 is an N95-rated filter pad designed for use with the Advantage Flexi-Filters series air-purifying respirators. It provides filtration of particulate aerosols and guards against nuisance odors in demanding work environments. The swept-back, low-profile design keeps the respirator compact, making it practical for use under welding hoods or in confined areas where clearance is limited. Multi-layer construction delivers high filter durability, and a spark-resistant outer cover adds an additional layer of protection during hot-work tasks. Finger tabs on the filter pad allow easy installation and removal without contacting the filter media, reducing the risk of damage that could compromise protection levels.

This filter pad is suited for a range of industrial and trade applications including asbestos abatement, sanding, grinding, welding, and painting. The low-profile geometry is specifically practical for tasks performed under welding hoods, where a standard respirator profile would interfere with visibility or fit. The design maintains a secure face seal while distributing weight evenly, which supports long-duration wear across construction, industrial, and abatement work sites.

Key Features

• N95-rated filtration for particulate aerosols and nuisance odor resistance
• Swept-back, low-profile form factor fits under welding hoods and in tight work spaces
• Spark-resistant outer cover suitable for hot-work environments including welding
• Multi-layer construction for extended filter durability
• Finger tabs allow filter changes without touching filter media, protecting filter integrity
• Balanced weight distribution supports a secure and comfortable face seal during extended wear

Compatibility

Designed for use with Advantage Flexi-Filters series air-purifying respirators. Suitable for applications involving asbestos abatement, sanding, grinding, welding, and painting.

Installation Notes

Filter pad installation and replacement should be performed by a trained user following the respirator manufacturer's instructions and applicable OSHA respiratory protection program requirements. Use the provided finger tabs to seat or remove the filter pad without contacting the filter media. Inspect the face seal after every filter change to confirm a proper fit before re-entering the work area. Discard filter pads that show visible damage, excessive loading, or increased breathing resistance.
