Description
This ABEK1 gas filter cartridge is engineered to provide reliable respiratory protection against multiple types of hazardous gases and vapors. The chemical filter attaches to compatible Venus respirators via a secure bayonet connector system and features chemical-resistant construction for extended service life.
Key Features
- Multi-Gas Protection (ABEK1): Protects against four gas categories at moderate concentration levels
- A: Organic gases and vapors with boiling point > 65°C
- B: Inorganic gases (e.g., chlorine, hydrogen sulfide)
- E: Acid gases (e.g., sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride)
- K: Ammonia and its derivatives
- High-Efficiency Filtration: Low breathing resistance while maintaining high filtration efficiency
- Bayonet Connector System: Secure attachment to compatible Venus respirator masks
- Chemical-Resistant Construction: Durable materials for extended service life
- Lightweight & Compact Design: Ergonomic design for user comfort during extended wear
- Standard Size: Fits Venus V-7800 Series respirators
Technical Build
- The filter cartridge uses chemical-resistant materials designed to absorb and neutralize hazardous gases while maintaining breathability. The bayonet connector ensures a secure, airtight seal when properly attached to compatible respirators.
Usage Instructions
- Always ensure a proper seal when attaching to the respirator
- Store in a clean, dry environment when not in use
- Replace filters as recommended or when breathing becomes difficult
- Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for filter replacement schedules
Safety Warnings
- Do not use in oxygen-deficient atmospheres (less than 17% oxygen by volume)
- Not suitable for confined spaces or areas with unknown gas concentrations
- Not effective against particulates unless used in combination with a particulate filter
- Not for use in IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does ABEK1 mean on this gas filter?
A: ABEK1 indicates protection against four gas types (Organic, Inorganic, Acid gases, and Ammonia) at moderate concentration levels (Class 1).
Q: How do I know when to replace this chemical filter?
A: Replace the filter cartridge when breathing becomes difficult, when you detect odors through the mask, or according to manufacturer’s recommended replacement schedule based on usage conditions.
Q: Can this gas filter protect against dust or particles?
A: No, this is a gas filter only. For particulate protection, use in combination with a compatible particulate filter.
Q: What respirators is this safety filter compatible with?
A: This filter cartridge is compatible with Venus V-7800 Series full-face and half-face respirators using the bayonet connector system.
Q: Can I use this protective filter in confined spaces?
A: No, this respirator filter is not suitable for confined spaces or areas with unknown gas concentrations or oxygen levels below 17%.
