What the Cool Tube Does

The AC1000-style Cool Tube is designed to reduce the temperature of compressed breathing air before it reaches the operator's respirator.

The device uses the energy of compressed air to produce a cooling effect without requiring a separate refrigeration system or electrical power supply.

This can help improve operator comfort during physically demanding work, particularly when wearing a blasting helmet, protective cape, and other protective clothing.

Actual cooling performance depends on the incoming air temperature, supply pressure, airflow, and operating conditions.

Why Use a Breathing-Air Cool Tube?

Abrasive blasting can be uncomfortable in warm environments, especially during extended operating periods.

A breathing-air cooling device can provide several benefits:

• Cooler incoming breathing air

• Improved operator comfort

• Reduced discomfort during hot-weather blasting

• Convenient belt-mounted configuration

• No external refrigeration equipment required

• Useful for industrial blasting and painting applications

The Cool Tube changes the temperature of the supplied air. It does not filter, purify, or improve the chemical quality of the breathing-air supply.

Garden Hose Thread Connection

This Cool Tube features a garden hose thread connection, as specified for this configuration.

Connection styles vary among supplied-air respirator systems, and similar-looking cooling devices may use different fittings.

Before ordering, verify:

• Original equipment part number

• Garden hose thread connection

• Compatible breathing-air hose

• Respirator model

• Required operating pressure and airflow

• Approved component configuration

Do not assume that Cool Tubes with different connection styles are interchangeable.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Existing Cool Tube is damaged

• Cooling performance has deteriorated

• Air leaks from the assembly

• Connection threads are damaged

• Existing device is missing

• Belt or mounting components are worn

• Repairing or refurbishing a supplied-air respirator system

• Restoring the original cooling configuration

Applications

• Industrial sandblasting

• Shot blasting and abrasive blasting

• Supplied-air blasting helmets

• Industrial painting and coating operations

• Structural steel surface preparation

• Shipyard and marine maintenance

• Bridge maintenance and rehabilitation

• Tank and vessel surface preparation

• Industrial equipment refurbishment

Cross-Reference Information

This Cool Tube is listed under several OEM part numbers:

• Bullard AC1000

• Clemco 04410

• RPB Safety 4000-02

These references are useful when identifying components from older respirator equipment manuals.

Because breathing-air systems are safety-critical, verify the physical configuration and approved compatibility of the replacement device before installation.

Important

This listing is for one aftermarket AC1000-style Breathing-Air Cool Tube with garden hose thread connection and operator belt.

Cross-references:

• Bullard AC1000

• Clemco 04410

• RPB Safety 4000-02

This is an aftermarket component and is not manufactured by Bullard, Clemco, or RPB Safety.

The respirator helmet, breathing-air supply hose, compressor, filtration system, and other accessories are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

Always verify the original part number, connection configuration, and compatibility with the complete breathing-air system before ordering.

Breathing-Air Safety

This Cool Tube is a temperature-control device. It does not remove carbon monoxide, oil vapors, toxic gases, or other contaminants from compressed breathing air.

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

Use only approved component combinations and follow the respirator manufacturer's specified airflow, pressure, and operating requirements.

Never substitute ordinary pneumatic fittings or hoses for approved breathing-air components.
