North RU65001S Full Face Respirator Small Silicone

Product Description

The NORTH RU65001S is a full-face air-purifying respirator facepiece designed for use in industrial and hazardous-environment applications. Constructed from silicone, the facepiece provides a durable, chemical-resistant seal across the full face. It uses a threaded cartridge connection compatible with standard threaded filters and cartridges. The RU65001S is part of the RU6500 series and is sized for small face profiles. It supports supplied-air respirator (SAR) and powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) configurations, making it adaptable to a range of respiratory protection programs. Licensed safety professionals and industrial hygienists typically specify and fit-test this unit per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 requirements.

The RU65001S is intended for use in environments requiring full-face respiratory and eye protection, including chemical handling, confined space entry, painting, and similar industrial tasks. The silicone facepiece suits workers who require extended wear comfort or have sensitivities to other facepiece materials. The SAR and PAPR compatibility broadens its use to supplied-air and powered-air systems where higher levels of protection or nuisance-level air quality require more than a standard filter cartridge alone. Safety officers and industrial hygienists overseeing respiratory protection programs will find this facepiece fits within a broader multi-mode respiratory protection strategy.

Installation Notes

Respirator facepieces must be fit-tested by a qualified person per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 before first use and whenever the wearer's physical condition changes. Power down or de-energize any connected PAPR or SAR system before connecting or disconnecting the facepiece. Inspect the facepiece, sealing surface, and suspension straps before each use and replace any damaged components before entering a hazardous atmosphere. Cartridge selection and service life must be determined by a site-specific respiratory protection program.
