3M 8210 N95 Disposable Respirator

WC Safety editorial note — 3M 8210 N95 Disposable Respirator
NIOSH-certified 3M disposable respirator — full specs, compatibility, FAQ, and ordering below. Read our independent review → or see the Disposable Respirator Complete Guide.

The 3M 8210 N95 respirator is a NIOSH-approved disposable filtering facepiece that captures at least 95% of non-oil airborne particles — the dependable choice for general construction dust, sanding, sweeping, drywall, insulation, and bagging. Its molded cup, adjustable nose clip, and dual head straps give the forgiving fit that made the 3M 8210 N95 respirator the most widely fit-tested cup N95 in industry. Each box contains 20 respirators.

Buy the 3M 8210 when you need a no-frills, source-control-friendly N95 in volume: it is unvalved and priced to issue by the box or case across a crew. For oil mist choose an R95, for lead or heavy fume step up to 3M 8233 N100 or a P100, and for heat relief pick the valved 3M 8511.

3M 8210 key specs

• Style: Molded cup, unvalved, dual head straps
• Fit aids: Adjustable aluminum nose clip + soft nose foam

3M 8210 compatibility

The 3M 8210 is a standalone disposable respirator — it does not take cartridges or filters. Its low cup profile pairs with most safety eyewear, face shields, and hard hats, and it is commonly worn alongside hearing protection on noisy sites. If fogging is an issue with glasses, the valved 3M 8210V or 3M 8511 vent heat. Smaller faces should consider the 3M 1860S. For gas or vapor protection the 8210 is not suitable — use a half mask respirator with the correct cartridge.

3M 8210 ordering FAQ

How many 3M 8210 respirators come in a box?

The 3M 8210 is packaged 20 respirators per box, with 8 boxes (160 masks) per case. WC Safety sells by the box; for case or pallet quantities, request a bulk quote.

Is the 3M 8210 sold individually or by the box?

It is sold by the box of 20 — the standard 3M industrial pack. Buying by the box or case lowers your cost per mask for ongoing dust programs.

Is this the genuine 3M 8210?

Yes — WC Safety sells authentic, NIOSH-approved 3M 8210 respirators through legitimate supply channels. Counterfeit N95s are common online, so buying from an established safety retailer protects you.

Can I buy the 3M 8210 in bulk or by the case?

Yes — case (160) and pallet quantities are available. Use our Request a Quote option for volume pricing on the 8210 for crews and facilities.

How should I store 3M 8210 respirators?

Store them in the original box, away from heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and contaminants, within the temperature range printed on the packaging, so the straps and nose foam keep their seal.

Do 3M 8210 respirators expire?

Yes — 3M prints a shelf-life/expiration date because straps and nose foam degrade over time. Rotate older stock first and check the date before issuing.

What size is the 3M 8210 and is there a smaller option?

The 8210 is a one-size cup that fits most adult faces. For smaller faces, the 3M 1860S (small) is the closest 3M alternative; fit testing confirms the right choice.

Does the 3M 8210 work with safety glasses, face shields, or hard hats?

Yes — the low cup profile pairs with most safety eyewear, face shields, and hard hats. If glasses fog, a valved model such as the 3M 8511 helps.

Does the 3M 8210 use replaceable filters or cartridges?

No — it is a disposable filtering facepiece; the whole mask is the filter and is discarded after use. If you want replaceable cartridges, see reusable half mask respirators instead.

What is the difference between the 3M 8210 and 8210V for ordering?

The 8210V is the same cup with an added Cool Flow valve, in smaller packs at a higher per-mask price. Order the 8210 for lowest cost or source control, the 8210V for valve comfort.

Is the 3M 8210 in stock and how fast does it ship?

Stock status is shown on this page; in-stock 8210 orders ship promptly. Fulfillment is handled through Amazon, so delivery timing follows the Amazon shipping options at checkout.
