Breather Box® Breathing Air Filtration System
Sku: P-APCMBB
The Breather Box® is a highly flexible breathing air system, providing critical filtration and gas monitoring where Grade D breathing air is required.
Used to filter incoming air from a compressor to help ensure Grade D breathing air quality, Breather Boxes® can be configured to meet virtually any application where abrasive blasting and/or industrial painting is being done.
Breathing Boxes combine two processes, saving space and adding convenience as follows:
- Monitors for carbon monoxide (CO). Switchable sensor can be used in USA, where 10ppm monitoring is required and other markets, where 5ppm is needed.
- Filters odors, oils, and particulates using 3-stages of filtration, as follows:
- First stage element filters bulk water and particulate and has an auto drain
- Second stage coalescing filter eliminates atomized oils, mists, ultra-fine particulates, and has an auto drain
- Third stage filter removes organic vapors and odors and has a manual drain
- Filter change indicators are standard on all three stages of filtration. Filtration efficiency is 99.99% at .01 micron.
- Each new BreatherBox® is supplied with Hansen fittings unless otherwise specified. Industrial Interchange fittings are available at no extra charge, and all other common industrial fittings can be had at an additional cost.
- Two automatic drains with discharge tubes are included.
- Three (3) standard power options available, as follows: Operates on disposable 9-volt batteries, 8-16 volt DC, or 115 VAC
An optional remote audible alarm (some models include strobe light as well) is available to alert workers to high levels of CO. All portable models except the BB15-CO model have a remote alarm jack.

Important Note: All breathing air filtration devices must be sized based on the CFM requirements of the respirators being used. For example, if you have 4 operators using Nova 3 respirators with C40 climate controls (which use 25 cfm each), you will need the BB-100 (or BA-100). While BB50 and BB75 versions may have 4 outlets, they do not have sufficient CFM capacity to support 4 operators using these respirators.
