Precision safety that travels where you do. The Allegro 2045-DLX Deluxe Fit Test Kit is the definitive solution for high-stakes Qualitative Fit Testing (QLFT). Engineered for professionals, this kit uses Stannic Chloride smoke tubes to provide an undeniable physical response to respirator leaks. Unlike flavor-based tests, the irritant smoke method removes subjectivity, ensuring your team is protected by a perfect, airtight seal.
What defines the Deluxe model is its heavy-duty, high-impact storage case. This airtight, waterproof housing protects your glass smoke tubes and precision aspirator bulb from the vibration and impact of industrial environments. It is the preferred choice for safety consultants and industrial hygienists who require a kit that can withstand the rigors of the field while maintaining 100% OSHA and ANSI compliance.

FAQ - Allegro 2055 Irritant Fit Test Kit
Q: Does this kit require a test hood? A: No. Irritant smoke testing is performed by moving the smoke around the seal area with the aspirator bulb. A hood is not required by OSHA for this specific method, which makes the testing process significantly faster than Bitrex or Saccharin methods.
Q: Can I use this for N95 masks? A: Per OSHA standards, irritant smoke can only be used on respirators with a P100 level of filtration. If you are testing a standard N95, you must use a Bitrex or Saccharin kit instead to avoid a "false fail" from particles penetrating the filter media.
Q: How do I store the smoke tubes once they are opened? A: The kit includes rubber caps specifically for this purpose. Once a tube is cracked, cap both ends tightly. For the best results, used tubes should be replaced within 24 hours to ensure the smoke remains at full potency.
