System Description
The 3M™ Versaflo™ S-Series Hoods and Headcovers are designed to be used with certain 3M™ Breathing
Tubes and Powered Air-Purifying Respirators or Supplied Air Units to form a respirator system.
The S-100 series headcovers (i.e. loose fitting facepieces) and the S-400 and S-500 series hoods have a wide-
view window (visor) and an elasticized faceseal. The S-403 has an added inner bib or shroud which is worn
tucked into work clothing. The hoods and headcovers are held in place with an adjustable, non-replaceable
plastic integrated suspension (S-133, S-433, and S-533) or a sewn-in elastic suspension (S-103 and S-403).
There are different sizes and fabrics available, and all headcovers and hoods are supplied fully assembled,
ready for use.
The S-600, S-700, and S-800 series hoods incorporate a neck collar or inner bib with an outer shroud and
a wide-view visor. They are available in a variety of fabrics. The S-800 series hoods have sealed seams to help
prevent liquid permeation through the thread holes. The S-600, S-700, and S-800 series hoods use the S-950
Premium Head Suspension. The S-950 suspension is easily removable and can be adjusted by the user for fit
and airflow comfort.
Properly selected, used, and maintained respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants by
reducing concentrations in the wearer's breathing zone below the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). It is
essential to follow all instructions and government regulations on the use of this product, including wearing
the complete respirator system during all times of exposure, in order for the product to help protect the
wearer. Misuse of respirators may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
For correct use, consult supervisor, refer to the product User Instructions or contact 3M Technical Service.
