What Is a Starter Breathing-Air Hose?

The Bullard 4696100 V10 Starter Hose provides the initial breathing-air connection between compatible compressed-air supply equipment and a supplied-air respirator system.

Unlike ordinary pneumatic shop hose, breathing-air hoses are designed for use in specified respiratory protection systems.

This 100-foot hose features the appropriate starter-hose connection arrangement for compatible Bullard equipment.

Starter hoses and extension hoses may use different fittings. Always verify the correct hose configuration before ordering.

100-Foot Hose for Extended Working Distance

The 100-foot length provides additional flexibility when positioning breathing-air equipment away from the operator's immediate work area.

This can be particularly useful for:

• Large abrasive blasting projects

• Structural steel fabrication and maintenance

• Bridge restoration

• Shipyard and marine operations

• Industrial tank maintenance

• Large industrial coating projects

• Commercial sandblasting applications

Important: Longer breathing-air hoses can affect pressure available at the respirator. The compressed-air source must provide the required pressure and airflow for the complete approved hose configuration.

1/4" Industrial Interchange Connections

This hose is equipped with:

• 1/4" Industrial Interchange Quick-Disconnect Coupler

• 1/4" Industrial Interchange Male Nipple

Before ordering, verify:

• Original Bullard hose part number

• Required hose length

• Hose inside diameter

• Quick-disconnect connection style

• Compatible respirator and airflow-control device

• Approved operating-pressure requirements

• Maximum permitted hose length for the respirator configuration

Matching quick-disconnect fittings alone do not establish respirator compatibility.

Compatible Equipment

Designed for compatible Bullard supplied-air respirator systems using V10 breathing-air hose assemblies and 1/4" industrial interchange connections.

Applications may include approved configurations of:

• Bullard 88VX Series abrasive blasting respirators

• Bullard 88VX3230 configurations

• Bullard supplied-air painting respirators

• Compatible Bullard constant-flow air-control assemblies

• High-pressure compressed breathing-air systems

Always verify compatibility against Bullard's approved respirator and breathing-air hose configurations.

This hose is not interchangeable with the larger 1/2" low-pressure breathing-air hoses used with certain Bullard free-air pump systems.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Existing breathing-air hose is cut or damaged

• Hose has excessive abrasion or wear

• Quick-disconnect coupler is damaged

• Male nipple is worn or damaged

• Air leakage at fittings or connections

• Hose has been kinked or crushed

• Existing hose is missing

• Replacing an older hose during respirator maintenance

• Additional approved working distance is required

Breathing-Air Hose Inspection

Breathing-air supply hoses should be inspected before each use according to Bullard's instructions.

Check for:

• Cuts, cracks, and abrasion damage

• Kinks or crushed sections

• Loose or damaged fittings

• Air leaks

• Damaged quick-disconnect components

• Oil, chemical, or other contamination

Replace any hose that fails inspection.

Never attempt to repair a damaged breathing-air hose using ordinary pneumatic fittings or improvised connections.

Applications

• Industrial sandblasting

• Shot blasting and abrasive blasting

• Supplied-air blasting helmets

• Industrial spray painting

• Structural steel surface preparation

• Shipyard and marine maintenance

• Bridge maintenance and rehabilitation

• Tank and vessel surface preparation

• Industrial coating operations

Breathing-Air Safety

This hose transports breathing air. It does not filter, purify, or improve the quality of the incoming air supply.

The compressed-air source must meet applicable breathing-air quality requirements, including OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.

Use only approved breathing-air hoses and fittings in the respirator configuration specified by Bullard.

Never substitute ordinary pneumatic tool hose for a breathing-air supply hose.

Follow Bullard's requirements for operating pressure, airflow, total hose length, and approved component combinations.
