What Is a Starter Breathing-Air Hose?

The Bullard 4696 V10 Starter Hose is designed to provide the initial breathing-air connection between compatible compressed-air supply equipment and a supplied-air respirator system.

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

This 25-foot hose features factory-configured industrial interchange connections for compatible Bullard equipment.

Starter hose configurations and extension hoses may use different fittings. Always verify the required hose arrangement before ordering.

This hose is equipped with:

• 1/4" Industrial Interchange Quick-Disconnect Coupler

• 1/4" Industrial Interchange Male Nipple

The industrial interchange connection style is commonly used on compatible Bullard supplied-air equipment.

However, not all breathing-air hoses and quick-disconnect fittings are interchangeable.

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

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