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.

Step 1Place the respirator over the mouth and nose, with bottom straps unfastened. Place the top strap over your head, placing the head cradle on the crown of your head. |
Step 2Grasp the straps, place them at the back of the neck and hook them together. |
Step 3Adjust strap tension by pulling ends until a secure fit is obtained. Balance strap tension by adjusting the top and bottom strap buckles. Do not overtighten. |
Check the Seal of Your 3M Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator Each Time You Don the Respirator
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Positive Pressure User Seal CheckCover 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 CheckUsing 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 CartridgesPlace 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 FiltersPlace 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.* |

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.

When looking for a replacement respirator, I didn't need anything fancy and was looking for a good value. Something that wasn't disposable, could take different cartridges and filters, that would last many years, and was comfortable to wear for hours at a time. This 6502QL respirator was ticking all of the boxes so I ordered it.
Once I got the respirator and started fitting it up, I realized just how long I had been going without such nice features like the down-firing exhaust vent and quick latch. The down-firing exhaust vent helps minimize me blowing anything onto surfaces that I am painting or staining. The quick latch is super handy as I no longer have to remove the head strap or unlatch the neck strap to take off the respirator during quick breaks. Simply undo the latch and the whole respirator hangs below your face while being quick to hold against my face and re-latch again. It is quite the time saver and means I don't have to worry about whatever is on my hands or gloves getting into my hair or all over my neck!
On top of those two super handy features, the comfort of this respirator is excellent. It isn't perfect, no respirator is, but my face doesn't get too hot, it seals up easily without too much pressure, and I can go hours with it on my face without hating it.
Overall, I don't know if a better value respirator exists on the market. For the price, this one sure would be hard to beat. I can't recommend it enough!
There’s an order of assembly when putting this much crap on your head. So the quick latch feature is clutch.
Silicone is anti microbial and not irritating to sensitive skin but skin will chap with prolonged wear. I’d love to see a way to expel moisture buildup.
I have the same ones in medium, but theyre really big. They work great but it’s hard to pair with glasses.
The head strap broke after about two years.
Ladies - just get the small no matter what

I went for the large size and it fits perfectly. No air escapes from the seal nor leaches in thru the seal of the mask. I had other masks while wearing safety glasses but my safety glasses would fog up to the point I couldn't make accurate cuts or work with any equipment. The 3M Mask is superb in its design. It deflects your exhaled breath downward thru an exhaust port below your nose whereby my safety glasses do not fog up at all. The mask is comfortable and easy to put on and remove with its head strap and quick-release function. The material to cover your nose and mouth is soft and forms on your face. When you adjust the straps, this material creates a snug but comfortable seal. I use the P100 filters (round pink ones) and they attach easily with just a twist to lock them in position without blocking my view of what I am working on. I am very satisfied with this mask and its well-thought-out design as well as its price. Worth every penny!
Bought a second one for the wife for our emergency kit.
I work with glass and a lot of dust.
Along with the force 8 mask respirator both do the job no smells, no leaks,air tight seal just wanted to get a drink with out removing the whole mask and walk away from the contaminated area to communicate.
