Re: 3M respirator

For guys at manila, you can buy those at wyler enterprises, which is just near bambang lrt station. Cartridges are compatible with the 7500 series respirator too. (7501= small, 7502=medium, 7503= large; the medium fits me right. FWIW, they also got peltor ear muffs and decent eye protection stuff.

Re: 3M respirator

Bro owyn, this is what I got recently, very comfortable to use and fittingly very soft on the face when used !!

Bro my problem here is that my welding helmet does not fit when I am wearing this respirator, maybe because of the cartridge, its hitting the sides of the helmet. My question is, are the round pink filters, 3M 2097 P100 model available sa WYLER ENTERPRISES ? Reading the reviews on this respirator, using the round filters on this respirator, my welding helmet will fit me perfectly, so I guess will have to buy me a pair or two so I can use this 3M inside my helmet while doing some welding.

Thanks in advance !!! :thanks:

Re: 3M respirator

Just make sure that the thin pink consumables are effective for your purpose.

Re: 3M respirator

Thanks for the reminder bro,

But that is why I am going to buy these pink 3m round filters to find out for myself if it will be effective for my purpose, who else will tell me here in the community whether it will work or not, metalworkers or welders in the community is just a handful, so I am depending on the reviews I read regarding these kind of filters in Amazon.com.

If it does not work, it will not be a waste since it can still be used when the time comes that I start spray painting or do some airbrushing on canvas panels.

Re: 3M respirator

If I was going to stick weld and need a respirator then these are the ones I'd probably choose.

This one below is w/o vapor relief and good for woodworking.

Re: 3M respirator

are the round pink filters, 3M 2097 P100 model available sa WYLER ENTERPRISES?

The info I have on Wyler from last year is --

7501 - P1,550 but not available
7502 - P1,550
7503 - not available

2091 - P350/pr
2097 - not available
6001 - not available
6003 - P630/pr

Is this still correct? Where did you get 6001? Anyone have updated availability/price on Wyler or other local 3M dealers?

Try also King's Safetynet. I was directed to them and they were referred to by local 3M as 'our authorized distributor' when I was looking for an obscure 3M part. (They did turn out to have the part but 3x more expensive than online.)

But that is why I am going to buy these pink 3m round filters to find out for myself if it will be effective for my purpose, who else will tell me here in the community whether it will work or not, metalworkers or welders in the community is just a handful, so I am depending on the reviews I read regarding these kind of filters in Amazon.com.

If it does not work, it will not be a waste since it can still be used when the time comes that I start spray painting or do some airbrushing on canvas panels.

The full spec on 2097 seems to be not available or hard to find online, but here are the relevant excerpts from the paper doc:

Use For
...
Metal fumes produced from welding, brazing, cutting and other operations involving heating of metals.

... relief from nuisance levels of organic vapors. (Nuisance ... refers to concentrations not exceeding the OSHA PEL or applicable government ... limits, whichever is lower. [COLOR="Red"]Do not use for respiratory protection against organic vapors.)

Re: 3M respirator

Thanks a lot bro JayL and bro guad for your inputs, these will surely be a great help for me and hopefully with others who will be indulging into welding and metalworking.

Maraming salamat po !!!
