Description of Operation

Advantages

Certifications and Approvals

The Cool Air Tube is placed between
the respirator air supply line and the
helmet breathing tube. A knurled knob on
the valve lets the operator adjust the
cooling rate of the air entering the
respirator.

• Increases productivity by keeping
blast operator cool and comfortable in
hot weather
• Durable construction
• Lightweight comfort system maintains
NIOSH approval

The Cool Air Tube is approved by
NIOSH for use only with Clemco Apollo
HP high-pressure Type CE supplied-air
respirators (not for use with low-pressure
respirators).

The Cool Air Tube cannot be closed
completely, so the operator always has at
least the minimum required volume of air
for breathing and to maintain positive
pressure inside the helmet.
The CAT comes with a belt that adjusts
to fit up to a 54-inch waist. The durable
buckle can be fastened and unfastened
with gloved hands.
A heat shield protects the operator from
warm exhaust air (a byproduct of the
production of cool air).

The Cool Air Tube is one component
of a NIOSH-approved system; use of
counterfeit parts voids the NIOSH
approval.
To maintain NIOSH approval, use only
genuine Clemco Apollo replacement
parts.
