Part Number: GVX2830HC2400
Weight: 5.35 lbs
The Bullard GenVX (GVX) is a Type CE continuous-flow supplied air respirator engineered for abrasive blasting and heavy surface preparation environments requiring high-level respiratory, face, and head protection.
This configuration features the 28″ Blast Cape (28VX) for lightweight operator movement and the HC2400 Hot/Cold Climate Control Tube, which allows adjustable heating or cooling of the incoming air supply, improving comfort and safety in extreme temperature work conditions.
With a third-party tested Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000, the GenVX delivers industry-leading respiratory defense, while the Z87+ high-impact face shield protects against steel grit and high-velocity abrasive rebound.
