Breathing Air Hoses

Breathing air hoses are designed to deliver breathing air from the breathing air system to the user. All Safety Rental offers breathing air hoses in various lengths for rent. The length of a breathing air hose with a 3/8-inch diameter must never exceed 60 meters. If the work requires a longer length, it is possible to rent a combination of a 3/4-inch hose and a 100-, 200-, or 500-liter buffer tank.

Supplied-Air Respiratory Protection

Supplied-air respiratory protection uses filtered ambient air. This means you breathe through filters that trap harmful substances such as gases, vapors, or particles. This type of protection is suitable for situations where there is sufficient oxygen (at least 19.5%) and where the nature of the contamination is known and controllable.

Typical types of dependent respiratory protection include:

  • Particulate filters (P1, P2, P3)
  • Gas and vapor filters (A, B, E, K)
  • Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR systems)

Dependent systems are lighter and more comfortable, but are not suitable in oxygen-deficient environments or when the nature of the contamination is unknown. They are ideal for short-term work in dusty areas or when working with solvents. All Safety would be happy to advise you on which filter system is best suited for your work environment.

Self-contained respiratory protection

Self-contained breathing apparatus provides the user with clean breathing air from an external source, such as an air cylinder or via a hose connected to a breathing air unit. These systems are designed for situations where the ambient air is unreliable or directly hazardous.

Typical applications include:

  • Areas with insufficient oxygen
  • Working in tanks, silos, or confined spaces
  • Emergencies such as fire or toxic gas leaks

Examples of self-contained systems:

  • Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs)
  • Air hose systems (line-connected)
  • Emergency escape kits

Self-contained breathing apparatus is ideal for occasional use or when exact working conditions vary. At All Safety, you can rent equipment flexibly and with the assurance that it is well-maintained.

Required Accessories

When using breathing apparatus, additional equipment such as buffer tanks and full-face masks is often necessary for safe and practical use. All Safety offers a wide range of rental options.

Commonly used buffer tanks:

  • 100-liter buffer tank
  • 200-liter buffer tank
  • 500-liter buffer tank
  • 1,000-liter buffer tank
  • 2,000-liter buffer tank

We also supply various types of full-face masks, including:

  • Full-face mask with air supply
  • Full-face mask with filter
  • Full-face mask with air supply unit
  • Full-face respirator for eyeglass wearers

Frequently Asked Questions About Breathing Air Units
What does a breathing apparatus do, and in what situations do I use it?

A breathing apparatus provides the user with clean and safe air when the ambient air cannot be trusted. This is the case, for example, when there is insufficient oxygen or when the air is contaminated by vapors, gases, or dust. In sectors such as the chemical industry, offshore operations, and manufacturing—as well as during maintenance work in confined spaces or in emergency situations—breathing apparatus is therefore frequently used. It ensures that employees can continue to work safely, even in high-risk environments.

Why do I need a buffer tank, and what capacity is right for my project?

A buffer tank is used when additional breathing air is needed, for example, during long-term work or when multiple people are using breathing air at the same time. The tank serves as an additional air supply that ensures a constant flow of air. The appropriate capacity depends on the duration of the work, air consumption, and the number of users. All Safety rents buffer tanks ranging from 100 to 2,000 liters and would be happy to advise you on which capacity best suits your situation.
