Respirator – RPB Nova 3 with 38" Leather Cape & Hot Tube, Includes Medium Side Pads, NIOSH TC-19C-456 Type CE

Part Number: NV3-704-53
Weight: 6.00 lbs

The RPB® Nova 3® Respirator with 38" Leather Cape and Hot Tube is engineered for abrasive blasting professionals who require exceptional durability, extended coverage, and heated breathing air in cold or demanding work environments. Fully certified under NIOSH Approval No. TC-19C-456 Type CE, this respirator provides complete respiratory, face, and eye protection while keeping operators warm and protected during long blasting shifts.

The integrated Hot Tube warms incoming compressed air, making it ideal for winter blasting, unheated shops, outdoor cold-weather projects, and harsh industrial environments. This helps reduce cold stress, improves operator focus, and maintains productivity in low-temperature conditions.

The 38-inch leather cape offers extended protection with heavy-duty durability. Leather provides superior shielding from sparks, sharp abrasive rebound, and high-impact media—making it the premium choice for steel manufacturing, foundries, fabrication shops, and rugged industrial blasting applications.

This model also includes medium side pads, which enhance helmet stability, improve fit, and reduce pressure points for long-duration use.
