Part Number: GVX3830AC1000
Weight: 5.45 lbs
The Bullard GenVX (GVX) is a Type CE continuous-flow supplied air respirator built for abrasive blasting, surface preparation, and industrial coating work in high-dust and high-impact environments.
This configuration includes the 38″ protective blast cape (38VX) for extended torso coverage, along with the AC1000 Cool Tube, which reduces the temperature of incoming air to improve operator comfort in hot climates and long-duration blasting shifts.
With a third-party tested Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of 1,000, the GenVX provides maximum respiratory protection, while its ANSI Z87+ high-impact face shield delivers reliable defense against high-velocity abrasive rebound.
