N95 NIOSH APPROVED DISPOSABLE RESPIRATOR MASK – WITH VALVE
Hot, humid air trapped inside a disposable respirator can make a long grinding or sanding job miserable. Benchmark Abrasives Valved N95 Disposable Respirator Masks give you the particulate protection of an N95 with the added benefit of a one-way exhalation valve that makes it easier to breathe out and helps move warm, moist air away from your face.
The rest of the mask is built around comfort and durability too. An individually adjustable aluminum nose clip lets you shape the respirator around your nose, a high-density urethane foam nosepiece cushions the bridge of your nose, and ultrasonic-welded head straps help eliminate the frustrating strap failures that can turn a fresh disposable mask into garbage halfway through the job.
And when you’re not wearing it, the fold-flat design makes it easy to keep one close. The respirator folds vertically along the center seam so it can slip into a pocket, toolbox, truck, or work bag without being crushed like a traditional molded mask. It’s a practical disposable option for grinding, sanding, fabrication, woodworking, maintenance, and other jobs involving appropriate non-oil airborne particulates.

Applications & Performance
The Valved N95 Disposable Respirator is designed for work involving appropriate non-oil airborne particulates.
Common applications include:
- Grinding
- Sanding
- Woodworking
- Cutting
- Deburring
- Surface preparation
- Fabrication
- Drilling
- Maintenance and repair
- Construction
- Dust-producing shop work
- General non-oil particulate applications
The added one-way valve makes this model especially useful for users who prefer easier exhalation and less heat buildup during active work.
Why Choose the Valved Version?
The valved model gives you the same core design as the non-valved Benchmark N95—adjustable nose clip, cushioned nosepiece, welded head straps, and folding body—but adds a one-way exhalation valve.
That valve gives exhaled air a direct path out of the respirator, helping reduce the warm, humid feeling that can build up inside a disposable mask during grinding, sanding, or other physical shop work.
If comfort during long, active jobs is the priority, this is the version to choose.
Built to Survive the Toolbox
Traditional molded respirators are easy to crush when they’re thrown into a toolbox, shoved into a work bag, or buried under other gear.
The Benchmark folding design collapses vertically along the center seam, allowing the respirator to store flatter between uses.
That makes it easier to keep clean respiratory protection within reach without destroying the mask before you need it.
Comfort & Fit
Adjustable Aluminum Nose Clip
Shape the nose clip around the bridge of your nose to help create a more secure, customized fit.
High-Density Urethane Foam
The soft foam nosepiece cushions the bridge of the nose and improves comfort during extended wear.
Ultrasonic-Welded Head Straps
The head straps are welded directly to the respirator to help prevent the strap separation that can make disposable masks unusable.
One-Way Exhalation Valve
The valve helps exhaled air leave the mask more easily, reducing heat and humidity buildup during active work.
Service Time Limitations
- Follow the service limits supplied with this exact respirator model and the workplace replacement policy; replace sooner if damage, contamination, breathing resistance or loss of fit requires it.
- Do not use the same respirator for more than 8 hours, continuous or intermittent, in dirty workplaces where heavy filter loading may occur.
- Leave the contaminated area and remove the respirator if breathing becomes difficult, a proper fit cannot be maintained, or the respirator becomes damaged, soiled, or distorted. Do not reuse the same respirator once it has been used in a contaminated area.
- Store unused respirators in clean, dry packaging protected from contamination and crushing.
- The maximum service time is 5 consecutive calendar days from the first day of use, including days when the respirator is not worn.
Safety Tips
- Inspect the respirator before each use and discard it if damaged, soiled, distorted, or otherwise compromised.
- Shape the aluminum nose clip around the nose before beginning work.
- Make sure the respirator seals securely against the face.
- Facial hair or anything crossing the sealing area can interfere with the fit.
- Leave the work area immediately if breathing becomes difficult or a proper fit cannot be maintained.
- N95 particulate respirators do not provide protection against gases or vapors.
- Use respiratory protection appropriate for the actual contaminant and application.
- This respirator does not supply oxygen.
- Do not use in oxygen-deficient or immediately dangerous to life or health environments.
- For required workplace use, follow the respiratory-protection program, including medical evaluation, training and fit testing. Perform a user seal check each time you put the respirator on.
