Part Number: NV3-702-53
Weight: 6.00 lbs

The RPB® Nova 3® Respirator with 38" Leather Cape is engineered for abrasive blasting professionals who require maximum durability, extended protection, and uncompromising comfort in extreme working environments. Certified under NIOSH Approval No. TC-19C-456 Type CE, this respirator delivers full respiratory, face, and eye protection while shielding the operator from severe abrasive rebound and harsh jobsite conditions.

This model includes a 38-inch extended leather cape, offering superior protection compared to nylon capes—ideal for environments with high-impact abrasives, sharp media, sparks, and heat. The extended length ensures broader upper-body coverage and enhanced operator safety.

The integrated Flow Control Valve enables precise adjustments to incoming air temperature and flow, helping maintain operator comfort throughout long blasting shifts. Medium side pads are included for increased helmet stability and reduced pressure points during extended wear.
