BACKDRAFT Stealth — PAPR Air Diffuser
A compact, low-profile PAPR air diffuser that attaches directly to your welding hood — built by a pipe welder who was tired of fighting gear that wasn't built for a full shift.
Variable airflow lets you dial in exactly what you need on the job. Built with better materials, made to hold up to a full shift, not just a bench test.
Rev 1.0 — Stealth. All black. Designed and printed in Alberta, Canada.
Compatibility: D-Style Pipeliner headgear
Hose Connection: 3M Quick Connect, double-pin twist lock

About BACKDRAFT
BACKDRAFT started with one welder's frustration with the stock PAPR diffuser on his own hood — no adjustability, cheap materials, built for a spec sheet instead of a real shift.
Every design decision came from real experience on the job, not a boardroom. What you're looking at is Rev 1.0 — built by one welder, refined by many.
Designed and printed in Alberta, Canada.
