BENCHMARK ABRASIVES GRINDER HOOD PPE COMBO KIT

Stop piecing together random PPE that fights for space on your head. The Benchmark Abrasives Grinder Hood PPE Combo Kit brings together the core components of the Benchmark PPE system—our Grinder Hood, PPERN95 reusable half-mask respirator, P100 particulate filters, and Behind-the-Head Earmuffs—so your face, respiratory, and hearing protection are built to work together instead of against each other.

The system starts with the Grinder Hood, which gives you broad face coverage and a replaceable clear lens for grinding, cutting, sanding, and fabrication work. The PPERN95 respirator fits into the open front area of the hood, while the Behind-the-Head Earmuffs keep the top of your head clear so you are not stacking another band underneath the hood. Add the included P100 pancake filters and you have a low-profile particulate filtration setup that stays compact inside the hood.

This is the kit for fabricators who want one coordinated setup they can throw on and get to work in. And because the Grinder Hood itself is modular, you can take the system even further with replacement inner lenses, the visor clip, and shaded outer visors for applications requiring additional shade—including the #5 inner lens + #8 outer visor configuration for Shade 13 protection (not included in this kit).

Why the Benchmark System Works Better Together

Grinder Hood

The Grinder Hood provides the face-protection foundation of the system.

It is built for:

• Grinding
• Cutting
• Deburring
• Sanding
• Surface preparation
• Weld cleanup
• General fabrication

The clear lens is replaceable, and the hood can be upgraded with darker inner lenses and an outer visor system when additional shade is required.

PPERN95 Reusable Half Mask Respirator

The PPERN95 sits inside the open front area of the Grinder Hood without adding excessive bulk.

It features:

• Soft silicone face seal
• Lightweight reusable facepiece
• Butterfly-style exhalation valve
• Replaceable snap-on filtration
• Compatibility with Benchmark P100 filters and other compatible snap-on filtration systems

P100 Pancake Filters

The included P100 filters give the PPERN95 a compact particulate-filtration setup for:

• Dust
• Fiber
• Fume
• Mist

Their pancake profile keeps the respirator lighter and less bulky inside the hood.

Behind-the-Head Earmuffs

These are the Benchmark earmuffs specifically designed to work with the Grinder Hood.

The band runs behind the head instead of over the top, which helps reduce interference underneath the hood while still providing:

• NRR 26 dB
• SNR 33 dB

The live page specifically states that the respirator and Behind-the-Head Earmuffs were designed to work with the Grinder Hood.

Build the Grinder Hood Beyond the Kit

The standard kit includes the clear Grinder Hood setup, but the hood itself can be configured for more.

Replacement Inner Lenses

Available inner-lens options include:

• #1 Clear
• #3
• #5

Grinder Hood Visor Clip (not included in this kit)

Pop out the center square above the inner lens to expose the visor-clip housing, then install the clip to add a second outer visor.

Outer Visors

Available outer visor options include:

• #5 Outer Visor
• #8 Outer Visor

Maximum Shade Configuration

#5 Inner Lens + #8 Outer Visor = Shade 13 Protection (not included in this kit)

That lets you keep the same Grinder Hood platform and adapt it to a wider range of fabrication and welding applications.

Applications & Performance

This kit is built for demanding shop environments where face, respiratory, and hearing protection all matter.

Common applications include:

• Grinding
• Metal cutting
• Deburring
• Surface preparation
• Sanding
• Weld cleanup
• Fabrication
• Maintenance and repair
• Dust-producing shop work
• Loud industrial environments
• Applications involving airborne particulate when using the included P100 filters

The Grinder Hood can also be upgraded with shaded lens configurations for appropriate welding work.

Respiratory Protection Options

The kit includes P100 filters, giving the PPERN95 a particulate setup for dust, fiber, fume, and mist.

The PPERN95 can also be reconfigured later with:

Organic Vapor / Gas Cartridges (not included in this kit)

For protection against:

• Organic vapors
• Chlorine
• Hydrogen chloride
• Sulfur dioxide

Organic Vapor Cartridge + N95 Prefilter Setup (not included in this kit)

Add:

• Organic Vapor Cartridge
• N95 Filter Pad
• Filter Retainer

This creates a combined vapor/gas cartridge setup with N95 particulate prefiltration.

The live page lists the P100 and organic-vapor pathways as available respiratory configurations for the system.

Safety Tips

• Inspect the Grinder Hood, respirator, filters, and earmuffs before each use.
• Replace damaged, heavily scratched, or compromised lenses and PPE components.
• Make sure the PPERN95 seals securely against the face before use.
• Facial hair or anything crossing the sealing surface can interfere with respirator fit.
• Use filtration appropriate for the actual contaminant present.
• P100 filters are for particulate hazards and do not provide gas or vapor protection by themselves.
• Make sure the earmuff cups fully surround the ears and seal securely.
• Check that the hood, respirator, and earmuffs do not interfere with one another after the complete system is put on.
• The included clear Grinder Hood lens does not provide welding shade protection.
• Do not use the Grinder Hood for sandblasting.
• The PPERN95 does not supply oxygen and must not be used in oxygen-deficient or IDLH atmospheres.
• Keep required machine guards installed and properly positioned.
