NIOSH Approval: TC-19C-0537 Type C

The 17-111-12 RPB® T-Link® Respirator is a lightweight, highly comfortable supplied-air respirator system designed for painting, powder coating, and overspray-prone industrial environments. Featuring a Constant Flow Valve, a Tychem QC (2000) hood, and a built-in bump cap, the T-Link® provides certified Type C respiratory protection while maximizing operator comfort, visibility, and mobility.

The T-Link® turns naturally with head movement, holding the lens away from the face for clear, uninterrupted visibility—no fogging, no contact with the nose, and no visual distortion. Its innovative LINK® padding system and ratcheting head harness ensure a perfectly balanced fit that remains comfortable for full-shift operation.

Ideal for painters, coaters, and industrial operators seeking a respirator that is lightweight, easy to wear, and does not require fit testing.
