When used with a Scott Safety PAPR, these headtops are designed to be used alongside

The FH6 and FH62 headtops are adjustable to fit head sizes with a
horizontal measurement of 53cm - 65cm (measured at brow level, full circumference). Adjustment

min, determined by accompanying Scott Safety PAPR systems EN 12941:1998/A2:2008 and
