FM54 Air Purifying Respirator

The Avon Protection FM54 is a fire-hardened air-purifying respirator engineered for Specialist Operators who need maximum CBRN protection with total operational flexibility. The FM54 protects the face, eyes, and respiratory tract from CBRN threats, riot agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and toxic industrial materials — and uniquely functions in both negative and positive pressure modes (APR, SCBA, CCBA, and PAPR).

Dual-mode operation: switch between negative and positive pressure (APR/SCBA/CCBA/PAPR) without removing the mask
Variable Resistance Exhalation Unit (VREU) lever changes mode without losing protection or removing the optional VPU
Built for Special Response Teams, SWAT/ERT, bomb squads, civil support teams, and clandestine drug lab entry
