Bullard GenVX Supplied-Air Sandblasting Helmet – 38" Cape with F30 Constant Flow

The Bullard GenVX Supplied-Air Sandblasting Respirator combines respiratory protection, head protection, and high-impact face protection in a modern helmet designed for demanding industrial abrasive blasting applications.

This Type CE continuous-flow respirator configuration features the Bullard 38VX 38-inch cape and F30 constant-flow air-control assembly with a 1/4" industrial interchange quick-disconnect connection.

Offering 10 inches of additional cape length compared to the 28-inch GenVX configuration, this model is an excellent choice for operators who prefer extended coverage around the neck, shoulders, chest, and upper torso.

Designed for professional sandblasting contractors, industrial maintenance departments, shipyards, and surface preparation facilities.

Extended 38-Inch Cape Coverage

This GenVX configuration includes the Bullard 38VX 38-inch cape, providing additional coverage below the helmet.

Compared to the 28-inch 28VX cape, the longer design extends an additional 10 inches down the operator's upper body.

The cape helps shield the neck, shoulders, chest, and upper torso from abrasive dust and rebounding particles during blasting operations.

For operators who prefer greater cape coverage, the 38-inch configuration offers an alternative to the standard 28-inch model.

Bullard F30 Constant Flow Air-Control Assembly

The included Bullard F30 Constant Flow Assembly provides the specified airflow-control connection for the respirator.

Features include:

• Constant-flow air-control design

• 1/4" industrial interchange quick-disconnect connection

• Designed for compatible compressed breathing-air systems

The F30 must be used with the appropriate Bullard-approved breathing-air hose and within the operating-pressure range specified by the manufacturer.

The F30 is intended for compatible compressed-air systems and should not be substituted for the F35 low-pressure free-air pump assembly.

Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000

The Bullard GenVX respirator family has a third-party-tested Assigned Protection Factor of 1,000, according to the supplied product specifications.

This performance information is useful when evaluating respiratory protection equipment for demanding industrial environments.

The applicable OSHA assigned protection factor depends on the respirator configuration, manufacturer's supporting documentation, and regulatory requirements. A third-party-tested performance figure does not automatically establish the OSHA APF for every installation.

Head and Face Protection

The GenVX respirator is specified with the following protection classifications:

Head Protection – ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014

• Type I head protection

• Class C classification

Type I addresses impacts to the top of the head. Class C helmets do not provide electrical insulation protection.

Face Protection – ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2015

• Z87+ High-Impact Face Protection

These classifications apply to the specified helmet assembly and require the appropriate components to be maintained.

Important Breathing-Air Safety Information

The Bullard GenVX is a supplied-air respirator requiring an appropriate external breathing-air source.

Compressed breathing air must meet applicable air-quality requirements, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.

Use only manufacturer-approved breathing-air hoses, air-control assemblies, and components for the specific NIOSH-approved respirator configuration.

Breathing-air filters do not necessarily remove carbon monoxide. Appropriate air-quality controls and monitoring must be provided as required.

Always follow Bullard's instructions regarding operating pressure, airflow, hose length, inspection, maintenance, and proper respirator use.
