Optrel Y-air hose swiss air - Half mask with hose and harness for the powered air system
The Optrel Y-air hose is a key part of the revolutionary swiss air respiratory protection system, designed for maximum versatility and comfort for the professional welder. This innovative component separates respiratory protection completely from face and eye protection, so you can combine it freely with any welding helmet, grinding shield or safety helmet, or work without additional head protection. It is the right choice for specialists who want to keep using the protective equipment they prefer without compromising on respiratory safety.

Technology Details
Ventilated Half Mask with Positive Pressure Technology
At the heart of the Y-air system is a specially designed half mask that is supplied with clean, filtered air from the swiss air blower filter unit. A zone of constant positive pressure forms around the nose and mouth and effectively keeps harmful dust, fumes and aerosols out of the airways. The continuous, gentle airflow also noticeably reduces breathing resistance and prevents fatigue, even during many hours of intensive physical work. It is not only protection but active support for your body. Investing in this technology is a direct investment in your health, your productivity and your ability to work for long periods in tough conditions.
Full Modularity and Universal Compatibility
The Y-air system was created to free you from the limits of closed equipment ecosystems. Its design separates respiratory protection completely from eye, face and head protection. This means you can use it with your favourite, proven welding helmet of any brand, a specialist safety helmet, a grinding shield, goggles, or entirely on its own. This flexibility is invaluable for varied tasks where you weld one moment and grind or do other work the next. It is an investment in a versatile tool that adapts to your needs and the equipment you already own, not the other way round.
Ergonomic Design and Safe Materials
Comfort and safety in use were priorities in the design of the Y-air system. The adjustable, elastic head and neck harness holds the half mask on the face securely without restricting movement. The half mask itself is made of high-quality flame-retardant material, which is essential for safety in a welding environment where contact with sparks and spatter is a risk. The light construction of the whole assembly keeps the load on the neck and head low, so you are less tired at the end of the working day. It is an investment in comfort that directly affects your concentration and precision.
