Part Number: GVX2830AC1000
Weight: 5.45 lbs
The Bullard GenVX (GVX) is a Type CE continuous-flow supplied air respirator designed for abrasive blasting, industrial coating, and high-particulate environments requiring maximum respiratory and face protection.
This configuration includes the 28″ blast cape (28VX) for lightweight maneuverability and the AC1000 Cool Tube, which actively reduces incoming air temperature, enhancing comfort during extended blasting shifts and hot environments.
With a third-party tested Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000, the GenVX provides high-level respiratory safety, while the Z87+ rated high-impact face shield protects against high-velocity abrasive contact.
