FM53 FAQ

Q: How many sizes is the FM53 respirator available?
A: The FM53 is available in four sizes with either a left or right filter mount; Extra Small (XS), Small (S), Medium (M) or Large (L).
The FM53 is also available in a Twin-port configuration that allows the filter to be installed on either side of the respirator.

Q: How do I make sure I have the right size of FM53?
A: Avon can provide you with a sizing tool which helps to determine the correct size of respirator. Also, as a rule of thumb, your eyes should be at, or just above, the centre line of the eye lenses.
Wearers must always conduct a negative pressure fit check prior to use to make sure the respirator will seal to the face. Wearers are advised to conduct a quantitative fit test, at least annually, to confirm the correct respirator size continues to be appropriate. Only use a respirator if a fit check has been satisfactorily completed.

Q: What attachments are available for the FM53?
A: Filter, SCBA and PAPR (powered air) attachments are available. The twin port variant allows for a respirator to be mounted with a filter while operating in SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) or Powered Air Purifying Respirator mode.
