Question 1

What is the 3M Particulate Filter 5N11 used for in everyday work?

Accepted Answer

The 3M Particulate Filter 5N11 is a NIOSH-approved prefilter designed to capture non-oil based particles when used with 3M 501 cartridges in the 6000 series respirators. It helps protect the main filter and extends overall cartridge life by catching initial dust and particulates.

Question 2

Can I use the 5N11 prefilter with a 3M 501 cartridge in the 6000 series?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 5N11 is specifically designed to be compatible with the 3M 501 prefilter/attachment used in the 6000 series cartridges, enabling effective filtration for non-oil based particles.

Question 3

What does NIOSH approval mean for this prefilter?

Accepted Answer

NIOSH approval means the filter meets standardized performance criteria for filtering non-oil based particulates, providing reliable P100/N95-style protection when properly used with the compatible 6000 series respirator system.

Question 4

What are the exact dimensions of the 5N11 prefilter?

Accepted Answer

The prefilter measures 3.4 inches in height and 4.2 inches in length, providing a snug fit when seated on the 501 cartridge on a 6000 series respirator.

Question 5

How do I install the 5N11 prefilter onto a 3M 501 cartridge?

Accepted Answer

To install, align the 5N11 with the 501 cartridge’s mounting area, press firmly around the edges until it seats evenly, and check that there are no gaps that could let unfiltered air bypass the cartridge.

Question 6

What types of particles is the 5N11 effective against?

Accepted Answer

It is designed for non-oil based particulates such as dust, wood dust, drywall particulates, fiberglass, and similar dry particulates encountered in woodworking, construction, and similar industrial settings.

Question 7

Can I use the 5N11 with both half-face and full-face 6000 series respirators?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 5N11 prefilter is compatible with 3M 6000 series cartridges on both half-face and full-face respirators that use the 501 mounting system.

Question 8

How should I store and replace the 5N11 prefilters?

Accepted Answer

Store in a clean, dry place in the original packaging. Replace the prefilter if it becomes torn, damaged, soiled, or once performance indicates it’s spent on heavy dust exposure; always follow site PPE guidelines for replacement timing.

Question 9

Are there safety or usage warnings I should know before using this prefilter?

Accepted Answer

Use the 5N11 only as part of a compatible respirator system (6000 series with a 501 cartridge) and only against non-oil based particulates. Do not use for oil aerosols or in environments where oil-based aerosols are present.

Question 10

Does buying in 100 EA per case or 10 pairs per packet offer good value for heavy use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 5N11 is offered in bulk packaging (100 units per case, with 10 pairs per packet), which can reduce per-unit cost and help ensure you have ready replacements on large job sites or in shop environments.

Question 11

What are some common use cases for the 5N11 prefilter?

Accepted Answer

Common use cases include woodworking (sanding, cutting), drywall and renovation work, painting prep, fiberglass work, and other tasks that generate non-oil dust and particulates where a 6000 series respirator is used.

Question 12

How does the 5N11 compare to other compatible prefilters available on Fepy.com?
