Product Description

The 3M Rugged Comfort Quick Latch Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator 6500 Series helps provide workers with respiratory protection in harsh, dirty work environments against airborne contaminants when used with approved 3M cartridges and filters. This facepiece combines comfort, durability, and stability with a firm, lightly textured silicone faceseal and strong body construction. The proprietary quick latch design offers an easy, one-hand touch drop-down mechanism for putting the facepiece on and taking it off while moving in and out of contaminated areas. The quick latch also eliminates the need to remove a hardhat or faceshield when lowering or raising the respirator. When properly fitted and used with approved 3M cartridges and filters, this respirator helps provide respiratory protection in workplaces at concentrations up to 10 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). While being the lightest silicone 3M half facepiece, it is still rugged enough to withstand long hours and extreme conditions. The resilient silicone faceseal offers an extended facepiece life, even keeping its shape in high-heat environments.

Innovative design features include a valve cover that helps to direct exhaled breath and moisture downward and 3M’s proprietary Cool Flow Valve that helps to make breathing easier. Made to fit securely and comfortably on the head, the facepiece comes with an adjustable head harness assembly featuring long-lasting polyester/spandex straps that stretch and conform to the individual who wears the respirator. This facepiece is compatible with all 3M bayonet-style filters and cartridges to help provide respiratory protection against a variety of gases, vapors, and particulate hazards (i.e., dust, paint aerosols, etc.) according to NIOSH approvals. This filter compatibility helps to make the respirator highly versatile for many workplace environments and a variety of jobs where respiratory protection is required.

Warning: Respirators help protect against certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the wearer must read and understand the User Instructions provided as a part of the product packaging. Follow all local regulations.

Check the Seal of Your 3M Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator Each Time You Don the Respirator

Positive Pressure User Seal Check

Cover the opening in the exhalation valve cover with your hand. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. Exhale gently. If the facepiece bulges slightly and no air leaks are detected between your face and the facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.*

*If faceseal air leakage is detected, reposition the respirator on your face and/or readjust tension of the straps to eliminate the leakage. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not enter contaminated area. See your supervisor.

Negative Pressure User Seal Check

Using hands, press or squeeze filter covers toward facepiece to restrict airflow. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. Inhale gently. If you feel the facepiece collapse slightly and pull closer to your face with no leaks between your face and the facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.*

Using 3M Cartridges

Place the palms of your hands over the cartridges and inhale gently. The facepiece should collapse slightly. If air leaks between the face and the faceseal of the respirator, reposition it and adjust the straps for a tighter seal. If you cannot achieve a proper seal, do not enter the contaminated area. See your supervisor.*

Using 3M Particulate Filters

Place your thumbs onto the center portion of the filters, restricting airflow into the respirator tube of the filters. Be careful not to disturb the position of the respirator. Inhale gently. If you feel the facepiece collapse slightly and pull closer to your face with no leaks between your face and the facepiece, a proper seal has been obtained.*

    Size difference between L and M and my big nose
    5 Stars
    Size difference between L and M and my big nose
    I thought it might be helpful to speak to sizing and how it affects me. Take note that both have very pliable silicone so this will only affect a few people.I have a big, thin, long nose (in profile) and always wore the 6502 QL (which is Medium Model). I figured my face is medium.It was always uncomfortable after time, across the bridge of my nose and while it did seal, whenever I put on my glasses, it made the discomfort more pronounced. Especially with the heavier cartridges and looking down, it puts a lot of strain on your neck so you have to cinch it much tighter to get good seal.It NEVER occurred to me that it was the wrong size for me.So, I just purchased the 6503 QL (which is Large model) and it is notably different, not that it's bigger overall, but HOW and WHERE it is bigger.The photo shows the 6502 (M) on the L and the 6503 (L) on the R.There is much more depth in the large to accommodate my nose. It cushions and flexes as opposed to sits hard on bone, if that makes any sense. It also allows you to cinch tighter, create a good seal and still have some wiggle room inside for comfort.Also, my glasses with adjustable nose pieces can span the bridge area and the rubber provides enough space to create contact and hold them in place. My reading glasses all have fixed nose pieces so there is no real difference here. I still have to wear a band.Also, sometimes I wear a beard and the L also cups around the lower part of my jawline better. Better seal.So, I hope this helps if someone who may have a more pronounced nose in profile.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, secure, reliable, works while wearing my glasses
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021
    I got this primarily to handle spray painting, but I’ve also used it for many other things. Pool chemicals, for example. I no longer have to hold my breath when I open the pool shock container, and my wife can use bleach in the bathroom without me worrying.

    The quick-release function is awesome, and the main reason I selected this one. It functions flawlessly and a flip of your finger releases the tension enough that the mask releases from your face and hangs free a couple of inches down. When you want to put it back on you’ll need both hands, but it’s a simple matter of placing it back and flipping the latch back.

    The mask itself is more comfortable than my old gas mask, and although it’s only half-face it seals just as well. The silicone feels good and fits well on my average sized head and face.

    It’s easy to change filters, although the first time I thought I might break a tab off. Once you get over the small bit of resistance filter installs take, you won’t think about it again. The mask is very sturdy and well built, as you would expect from 3M.

    The respirator works with any 3M or 3M style filters, but my favorite accessories are 3M part numbers 501 and 603. You can use these parts together with 5P71 cotton filters, or just pop the 501/5P71 combo over your 6000 series cartridge for a pre-filter. Any way you use it, this is a great mask.

    I have no regrets with this respirator. Great buy.
