Shigematsu P3RC Clip-On Pre-Filter — Combined Particulate & Gas Protection
The Shigematsu P3RC Clip-On Pre-Filter transforms an STS gas filter into a combined particulate and gas filter, giving respirator wearers protection against both hazard types without needing a separate filter setup. It clips directly onto the gas filter — no filter retainers required — making it one of the simplest ways to upgrade gas protection to cover particulates as well.
Certified, High-Efficiency Filtration
This pre-filter is Certified and fully compliant with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1716:2012, filtering 99.95% of particulates. Because it uses mechanical filtration rather than an electrostatic charge, it doesn’t lose filtration efficiency as it fills up or becomes wet — a genuine advantage over filter types that degrade in performance under those conditions, particularly relevant for pest control, spraying, or any wet-environment work.
Built to Last Through the Job
The filter material is protected by a hard casing, reducing the risk of damage during handling or use, and the filter itself is water and oil-repellent — useful in environments where moisture or oil mist is a regular hazard. At just 20g and 86mm in diameter by 14.5mm high, it adds minimal bulk or weight to the mask setup.
Simple to Fit
There’s no need for filter retainers with this pre-filter — it simply clips onto the gas filter cartridge already fitted to your mask. This straightforward attachment method makes it fast to fit and swap out in the field, without fiddling with additional hardware.
Pack Size
Two P3RC pre-filters are required per mask (one per side), and this listing is sold as the matching 2-pack — exactly what’s needed for a single respirator.
Choosing the Right Filter
Filter selection depends on the specific hazards present on your job site. Use the filter selection calculator to confirm the P3RC is the correct choice for your application before ordering, particularly if you’re working across multiple hazard types.
Where It’s Used
- Pest control and fumigation work involving both particulates and gases
- Spray application requiring combined protection
- Any STS gas filter setup needing particulate protection added
