- Clean-shaven faces are required for the Avon FM50™ to fit properly. The gas mask and filter should form a tight seal on the face to ensure protection.
- 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.
- Use the negative pressure test to confirm the right fit for your gas mask kit.
- Put the mask on your face and breathe out.
- Block the inhalation valve and take a deep breath.
- Specifically for the Avon FM50™, you will need to block both inhalation valves before taking a breath.
- The mask should then collapse to the face.
- If you experience a tight seal to your face, then the mask has the right fit.
