3M™ Reusable Half Face Respirator – Model 7502 (Premium Silicone)

The 3M™ Reusable Half Face Respirator 7502 is 3M's premium-tier half facepiece — the upgraded choice for professionals who demand superior comfort, a better seal, and advanced airflow management during extended wear. Part of the 3M™ 7500 Series, the 7502 (Medium) features an advanced silicone facepiece, the legendary Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve, and a unique drop-down harness that sets it apart from the standard 6000 Series. Filters and cartridges are sold separately.

What Makes the 7502 Premium

• Advanced Silicone Facepiece — ultra-soft silicone sealing surface conforms precisely to facial contours, delivering a superior seal and unmatched skin comfort versus standard TPE facepieces; significantly reduces pressure points during all-day wear
• 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve — patented valve design directs exhaled air and moisture downward and away from the face; reduces heat and humidity build-up inside the respirator for a cooler, more comfortable breathing experience throughout the entire shift
• Dual-Mode Drop-Down Harness — unique head cradle allows the respirator to be dropped away from the face (into a "rest" position) without removing the head harness or hard hat; essential for workers who move frequently between hazardous and non-hazardous zones
• Solid Exhalation Valve Cover — protects the valve from debris and makes cleaning significantly easier
• Colour-Coded Sizes — easy size identification; comes with re-closable storage bag

Key Features

• 3M™ Bayonet Connection System — quarter-turn lock accepts the full range of 3M 6000 Series cartridges and 2000/5000/7000 Series filters
• Twin filter design — balanced, low breathing resistance on both sides
• Fully adjustable head cradle — personalised fit with minimal pressure on face
• Facepiece weight: 130–140g (nominal)
• Reusable, fully disassemblable, and washable
• Compatible with 3M™ eyewear and hearing protection
