PAPR Hoses & Accessories

PAPR hoses & accessories

Replacement hoses, connectors, flow indicators, and mounting accessories for the CleanAir PAPR range. Hoses are wear items — they abrade against belts, hard hats, and work surfaces — and a compromised hose reduces the effective protection of the entire PAPR system.

What to stock

• Standard flexible hose — the workhorse connection between belt unit and head-top.
• Heavy-duty hose — reinforced for abrasive environments like abrasive blasting or mine work.
• Low-temperature hose — more flexible in cold-storage or winter work.
• Hose covers — disposable or cleanable covers protect hoses from welding spatter and chemical splash.
• Connection fittings — adapters between specific belt units and head-top models.
• Flow indicator balls — verify minimum airflow before starting work.

Inspection

Inspect hoses before every shift for cracks, punctures, or crushing. A damaged hose can under-deliver air to the head-top, reducing protection below the rated RPF. Replace any hose that fails inspection — cost is small relative to the protection it maintains.

Fitment

Hose fittings are partially standardised within the CleanAir range but not universally interchangeable — Omnira, Verus, CA-40, and belt-unit connections may each use specific adapters. Confirm with the product listing or contact us before ordering.

Standards & compliance

Hoses and fittings are part of the certified PAPR system under AS/NZS 1716. Use only OEM replacement parts — third-party hoses void the system certification.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if the hose is restricting airflow?

Use the flow-indicator ball test (supplied with most PAPR systems). With the belt unit running at full speed, the ball should sit at or above the minimum mark. If it doesn't, inspect the hose, filter, and battery.

Can PAPR hoses be repaired with tape?

No — hoses with any damage must be replaced. Taped repairs can fail under heat or twisting and compromise protection.

Do you offer trade or bulk pricing?

Yes — trade accounts receive 5% off RRP, and bulk hose orders qualify for additional discounts. Apply for a trade account →
