The Avon Protection PC50™ protective mask is based on the widely deployed 50 Series masks, and is designed to provide protection in dangerous and contaminated environments that demand a robust, field-proven competitively-priced military pedigree product that meets their operational needs.
Approved as a NON-CBRN respiratory device, it provides protection in dangerous and contaminated environments, against certain solid and liquid respirable particles, gases, vapors and splashes of liquid chemicals.
The PC50 was specifically developed for those who have price-sensitive budgets. It has been used by First Responders, Correctional Officers, Riot Control, Border Patrol, Plant Security and other NON-CBRN requirements.
The PC50 is available in three sizes, with either left or right hand 40mm canister mounts that accept traditional or conformal filters. The standard communication port allows the ability to integrate with existing radios. The PC50 may be fitted with a vision correction system and a variety of outserts for specific operational situations.

Please select the correct size according to the sizing chart guide found in the photo gallery for this product.
NOTE: For proper mask fit, faces must be clean shaven.
Facial hair, sideburns, bangs and headwear may prevent a protective facepiece from forming and/or maintaining a tight-fitting seal on someone’s face. It is recommended the user be clean shaven and/or hair pulled back for sizing and using the respirator to ensure an appropriate seal.
To ensure you have selected the correct size you should perform a negative pressure test. The negative pressure test can be performed by putting the mask on your face, breathe out, then block the inhalation valve and take a deep breath. For the PC50 you will need to block both inhalation valves before taking a breath. The mask should collapse to the face. If you experience a tight seal to your face then the mask has the right fit.
If you are still unsure of your size or are certain you are going to be in a hazardous environment and need to ensure the most accurate sizing you may purchase a Sizing Tool.
*Except in the rare case of defective product. Please contact customer service for further instruction in this instance.
