Product Overview
The P920 ABEK1 Gas Filter is a critical component for respiratory safety, specifically engineered for use with the P410 Half Mask. Supplied in a practical pack of four, these class 1 filters offer a broad spectrum of protection against various hazardous substances. When dealing with complex industrial environments where organic and inorganic vapours, acid gases, sulphur dioxide, and ammonia are present, these filters provide the necessary barrier to ensure personal safety.
Designed with a specialized thread connection, these filters are intended for paired use, ensuring balanced weight distribution and reliable filtration performance during extended shifts. They are particularly effective for substances with a boiling point higher than 65°C, making them a staple for professionals handling chemical solvents and industrial cleaning agents.
Key Features
- ABEK1 Class 1 Protection: Provides a versatile defence against a wide range of gases including organic, inorganic, and acid gases, as well as ammonia, ensuring you remain protected in varied chemical environments.
- Special Thread Connection: This unique fitting ensures a secure and airtight seal when used exclusively with the P410 Half Mask, preventing leakage of contaminated air.
- Durable ABS Construction: The filter housing is manufactured from high-grade ABS, offering structural integrity and resistance to impact while remaining lightweight for the wearer.
- Pack of Four: Supplied as a set of four filters, this pack ensures you have the necessary replacements ready to maintain continuous protection on the job site.
Design & Performance
The performance of the P920 is rooted in its robust design. The filter housing is crafted from ABS, a material chosen for its strength and chemical resistance. This ensures that the filter remains intact and functional even in demanding work conditions. The special thread connection is a deliberate design choice to ensure that the filter can only be used with compatible respiratory equipment, thereby maintaining the integrity of the safety system.
In terms of performance, these filters meet the EN 14387 Type ABEK Class 1 standard. This means they have undergone rigorous testing to prove their efficacy in filtering out harmful vapours and gases. Despite their high filtration capacity, they are designed to be relatively lightweight, reducing the strain on the wearer's neck and face when attached to the mask for long periods.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is high-specification Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), we do not offer customisation or branding services. Modifying the exterior of a gas filter, whether through printing or labelling, could potentially interfere with the material integrity or obscure vital safety information and certification markings. Maintaining the manufacturer's original specification is essential for ensuring the product performs exactly as intended in hazardous environments.
Use Cases
These filters are essential for workers in the chemical manufacturing industry, those involved in industrial waste management, and professionals performing deep-cleaning tasks involving ammonia-based products. They are also highly suitable for laboratory environments and agricultural applications where acid gases or sulphur dioxide may be encountered. Ensure they are always paired with the P410 Half Mask for correct operation.

Practical Advice
Before each use, check the expiration date on the filter and inspect the thread for any signs of damage. It is vital to remember that these filters are sold as a pack of four because they must be replaced in pairs to ensure equal resistance and optimal filtration. Always ensure the mask and filters are fitted correctly in a clean environment before entering a contaminated area.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your filters correctly is vital for ensuring they provide the protection you rely on. Filters should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and contaminants when not in use. Failure to store them in a sealed environment can lead to the filter media becoming saturated with ambient moisture or background vapours, effectively shortening their service life before they are even used.
Never attempt to wash or blow out gas filters with compressed air. Moisture or high-pressure air will destroy the internal filtration structure, rendering the filter useless and potentially dangerous. If the filters become clogged with particulates or if you begin to smell or taste the contaminant while wearing the mask, they must be disposed of and replaced immediately to prevent respiratory injury.
