Sizing & Fit

Please note that 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 that the user be clean shaven and/or have hair pulled back for sizing and using the respirator to ensure an appropriate seal.

To confirm you have selected the correct size, you should perform a negative pressure test. This test involves putting the mask on your face, exhaling, then blocking the inhalation valve and taking a deep breath. For some masks you will need to block both inhalation valves before taking a breath. The mask should collapse onto the face. If you experience a tight seal to your face, then the mask has the right fit.

If you are still uncertain about your size or are certain you will be in a hazardous environment and need to ensure the most accurate sizing, you may purchase a Avon gas masks Sizing Tool or contact us for additional help.
