Turn Your Gas Mask into a Respirator for Smoke with the VK-450

Wildfires are a constant threat to the Western United States—where thousands of citizens may be forced to evacuate at a moment’s notice through choking clouds of smoke and searing heat. Meanwhile, over 71,000 homes are lost in structure fires every year, according to studies from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Yet, few own escape respirators or fire protection hoods.

That means that fire poses an immediate threat to millions of unprepared American families. That’s where our VK-450 gas mask filters come in.

While most conventional gas masks and filters can protect you from hundreds of nuclear, biological and chemical threats, the VK-450 is one of just a few filters that can also protect you from carbon monoxide and minimize the risk of smoke inhalation. The VK-450 helps to convert CO into CO2, allowing you to breathe it out. So, instead of also keeping a single-use fire/smoke hood on hand, you can use your existing gas mask for smoke protection in case of a house fire or wildfire.

Of course, these filters still provide full protection from NBC threats, and they sport a truly impressive 13.5-year shelf life. They come individually packaged and are easy to stack, store and manage.

If you’ve got a gas mask, or if you’re thinking about getting one, don’t overlook these flexible filters. Scroll down to check out the full details:

Questions & Answers

Q: I am aware that a P3 filter is required to block the coronavirus. Which one of your filters is P3?

A: MIRA Safety filters (NBC-77 SOF, VK-450, DOTpro 320) are classified as "combined filters" and contain a P3 filter along with activated carbon. For those that don't know what P3 means, it is a rating for a particle filter that blocks 99.9999%+ of particulates. As viruses travel in liquid aerosols and particulates, this filter (when coupled with a full face respirator) would prevent the coronavirus from entering your breathing passages and eyes.

Q: How long does a filter last once it's opened?

A: Filter use time depends on a few factors, including atmospheric conditions, contaminant type, concentration, along with your breathing rate. As a general rule of thumb, we would suggest having two filters per person per day for emergency evacuation purposes. If you'd like specific data on use time, you can look at the brochure that goes into breakthrough times along with the application.

Q: Would this be compatible with the North by Honeywell Small Elastomer Full Face 5400 Series Dual Cartridge Facepiece?

A: No, it is not compatible as the North mask is not threaded for 40mm NATO filter cartridges.

Q: What level filter will protect me from the Coronavirus and will this filter fit the MSA millennium gas mask?

A: For viral filtration, you would need a P3 particle filter (all of our filters have a P3 built-in). As all of our filters are threaded for 40mm NATO, they will all fit the MSA Millenim mask.

Q: Does this filter fit the Polish MC-1 gas mask?

A: Yes, it does, so long as it's in 40mm NATO configuration. As this is an old mask it might be threaded in 40mm Soviet GOST. Make sure to double-check before making a purchase.

Q: Will these filters work with an Avon C50 to provide proper CBRN threat protection?

A: Yes, they will, as both are threaded for 40mm NATO.

Q: Will these filters fit on Soviet GP5 gas masks?

A: No, they will not, as they are threaded for 40mm NATO, and the GP5 is threaded for old-style 40mm GOST.

Q: Will these filters fit Israeli gas masks?

A: Yes, they will, as both are 40mm NATO threaded.

Q: How to properly clean the mask? How to properly dispose of a used filter? For both, in a case where you may fear you were in a contaminated area.

A: There are many cleaning products on the market for gas masks, and each is created for different purposes. As decontamination is a field of study on its own, we would suggest doing independent research and training before purchasing cleaning products. For viral threats, we have heard that Allegro 5003-U is a good product from industry experts. We do not sell it on our website, but you can find it in shops across the web. Filter disposal would depend on local laws for toxic waste disposal. Please check with local authorities as laws differ from county to county, state to state, and country to country.

Q: Why are these masks not NIOSH approved? Is it primarily because of geographical usage?

A: Precisely. Traditionally, these masks were used by professionals in the EU, the middle east, along with eastern-European counties. Both the CM-6M and CM-7M are EN 136 CL 3 (special purpose) certified. If you look through and compare NIOSH testing to EN, you will see that EN standards are just as stringent as their NIOSH counterparts. NIOSH does not determine quality by any means, just an extra piece of certification as mandated by OSHA for private sector professional use. Keep in mind, government-owned agencies are not subject to OSHA and can use non-NIOSH masks/filters. This includes police, fire brigades, first responders, etc. All of which are our customers in the US.

Q: How long will a NBC-77 SOF filter protect in non-contaminated air against viruses?

A: As viruses travel in particles and liquid aerosols, this filter will protect you for as long as you can wear the mask (several days). Keep in mind; if you are in a contaminated environment, you would need to decontaminate properly before removing your protective gear, and then dispose of the filter as there is no way to regenerate it. Once the filter is used in a contaminated environment, it is considered toxic waste.
