Bullard RT Series Respiratory Systems provide a continuous ﬂow of air from

a remote air source via airline. The ﬂow of air is delivered to the respirator

wearer through a patented air delivery system. RT Series respirators

offer protection from airborne contaminants that are not immediately

dangerous to life or health (IDLH), or that do not exceed concentrations

allowed by applicable OSHA, MSHA, EPA, NIOSH or ACGIH regulations and

recommendations, or any other applicable regulations for continuous ﬂow

airline or powered air-purifying respirators.

RT Series airline respirators are approved by NIOSH (TC-19C-412

Type C). Bullard has determined that these respirators may be used to

provide respiratory protection in general purpose applications, including

pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical and pesticide handling, tank

cleaning, spray painting and other industrial or agricultural applications in

which hazardous compounds are present.

Bullard RT hoods are available in two different Tychem

materials. Bullard

hoods will accommodate limited facial hair without compromising the level of

protection. The hood is held in place by the inﬂatable neck cuff (RT1 and RT2)

or a sport material neck cuff (RT3 and RT4), which ﬁts under the wearer’s

chin and provides a positive seal. This keeps the hood in position on the

head and prevents it from rising upwards when supplied with breathing air.

Breathing air is supplied from a breathing tube connected to the back of the

hood, and the air is routed through overhead channels that deliver the air

down across the lens of the hood.

RT Series respirators are compatible with breathing air sources such as

breathing air compressors. Bullard offers the appropriate approved breathing

tube, ﬂow control device and air supply hose to connect the RT Series

respirator to these breathing air sources.

RT Series respirators are approved by NIOSH for use with optional Bullard

climate control devices. Contact Bullard or our local authorized distributor

for more information about these and other accessories for RT Series

respirators. All Bullard parts must be present and properly assembled to

constitute a NIOSH approved respirator. For technical assistance, contact

Bullard Cutomer Service at 877-BULLARD (285-5273) or 859-234-6616.

NOTE

Bullard RT Series hoods are also NIOSH approved for certain PAPR

conﬁgurations. Please refer to your Bullard PAPR manual or call

Customer Service at 877-BULLARD (285-5273).

Read all instructions and warnings before using these respirators. Save this manual for future reference.

The RT Series respirator’s air source must supply clean, breathable air, Grade D or better, at all times. The RT respirator does not purify air or ﬁlter out

contaminants. Connecting the RT respirator to a line supplying nitrogen or other harmful gases could cause death or serious injury. Failure to follow these

instructions could result in death or serious injury.
