Allegro 9935-DLXE EZ Air Deluxe PAPR Assembly Overview
The Allegro 9935-DLXE EZ Air Deluxe PAPR assembly is a complete motorized, lithium-ion powered air-purifying respirator for welding. A belt-mounted blower pushes HEPA-filtered air up a downtube into a flame-retardant nylon hood with an auto-darkening welding shield, giving a constant supply of fresh filtered air over the face at an OSHA assigned protection factor of 25.
As the Allegro EZ Air Deluxe PAPR, this Allegro EZ Air PAPR is a ready-to-run Allegro welding PAPR. As a 9935-DLXE PAPR assembly it ships with everything to weld, and as an Allegro HEPA PAPR it protects against welding fume and metal particulates such as steel, manganese, stainless steel, chromium, and lead.
This is a complete welding PAPR assembly. Compare the higher-airflow Allegro EZ Air Max PAPR, keep a spare Allegro EZ Air blower assembly, and browse it in welding respirators, powered air-purifying respirators, and welding helmets.
What This System Is Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Welding fume protection | Purpose-built | HEPA-filtered air with an auto-darkening shield. |
| Ready-to-run complete kit | Strong | Shield, hood, blower, belt, battery, and tester included. |
| Long shifts | Strong | Up to 8 hr at minimum airflow, 6 hr at maximum. |
| International charging | Check region | DLXE charger is set for non-US mains; confirm plug. |
| Gases, vapors, or emergency air | Not suitable | Particulate only; not for emergency atmospheres. |
A welding respirator only protects within a complete, matched, compliant system. The EZ Air Deluxe uses a HEPA particulate filter, so it captures welding fume and metal dust but does nothing for gases or vapors, including ozone; those need a respirator and media rated for the specific hazard. As a loose-fitting head top its OSHA assigned protection factor is 25, not the higher figure of a tight-fitting facepiece. Because a PAPR purifies ambient air rather than supplying it, it is not for IDLH or oxygen-deficient atmospheres, which require an SCBA or a supplied-air respirator rated for those conditions. Use the included flow tester to verify airflow before each use, keep the filter and battery in service, use only approved components, and run the system within a written program under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134. Learn the rules in our OSHA 1910.134 respiratory protection guide and the respiratory protection complete guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Allegro 9935-DLXE EZ Air Deluxe PAPR?
It is a complete motorized, lithium-ion powered air-purifying respirator for welding. A belt-mounted blower pushes HEPA-filtered air into a flame-retardant nylon hood with an auto-darkening welding shield, giving a constant supply of fresh filtered air over the face.
What assigned protection factor does it provide?
It provides an OSHA assigned protection factor of 25, the loose-fitting head-top figure, when used correctly within a compliant program. The positive pressure inside the head top helps keep particulates away from the breathing zone.
What does it protect against?
It protects against welding fume and metal particulates such as steel, manganese, stainless steel, chromium, and lead. Because the filter is HEPA particulate media, it captures particles only and does not protect against gases or vapors.
What is included in the assembly?
The complete assembly includes the welding shield with the 9935-X81V auto-darkening lens, the downtube with a flame-retardant cover, the blower, a waist belt, the battery and charger, a flow tester, a HEPA filter, and a storage bag. Confirm the contents on the listing.
What auto-darkening lens does it use?
It uses the Allegro 9935-X81V auto-darkening welding lens, which measures about 3.2 by 3.9 inches and provides a light state plus variable welding shades. Confirm the shade range and grind function on the Allegro documentation for your work.
How long does the battery last?
The lithium-ion battery runs up to about 8 hours at minimum airflow and about 6 hours at maximum airflow per charge. Use the included flow tester to verify airflow before each use, and recharge the battery fully between shifts.
What does 'DLXE' mean on this model?
The DLXE version is configured for international charging, so the charger is set up for non-US mains. Confirm the charger and plug match the outlets you will use, or select the version that fits your region before ordering.
What is the hood made of?
The hood is made from DuPont flame-retardant nylon that withstands extreme cold and heat without cracking or deforming, which suits the sparks and temperature swings of welding work. Inspect it regularly and replace it if it is damaged.
Does it protect against gases or vapors?
No. The HEPA filter is for particulates such as welding fume and metal dust. It does not filter gases or vapors, including ozone or solvent vapors. If your work involves those exposures, you need a respirator and media rated for them.
Can I use it in an oxygen-poor or emergency atmosphere?
No. Because a PAPR filters ambient air rather than supplying it, it is not for oxygen-poor or immediately dangerous atmospheres. Those require respiratory protection rated for such conditions, and you must confirm the environment first.
Is it NIOSH approved?
Yes. The EZ Air Deluxe PAPR is NIOSH approved as an assembly and meets ANSI Z87.1+ for the face-shield eye protection. Use it only within its NIOSH approval and a written respiratory protection program with the correct components.
Do I need a written respiratory program?
Yes. Powered air-purifying respirators are used within a written respiratory protection program under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, including training, medical evaluation, and maintenance. Follow the Allegro manual for assembly, use, and inspection.
