FAQs

How easy is it to install the SIP Valve?

Customers have found the installation process straightforward, though it may take a little practise to perfect.

Does this compromise the mask filtration?

Not significantly.

It's really important to be mindful when it comes to modifying your masks or respirators. These devices are certified based on their original design, and any changes we make might affect how well they work. So, if you're thinking of installing SIP on an FFP2 mask, just remember that it technically won't be an FFP2 anymore.

However, the team behind SIP has really done their homework. They've put their valve through rigorous tests, even using a protocol approved by OSHA for quantitative fit testing. The results? Well, they're quite reassuring. When SIP was installed on an N95 respirator, the fit factor was a tad lower compared to the N95 without the valve. But, and here's the good news, even when a straw was inserted, the fit factor stayed comfortably above the OSHA's required standards. So, you can sip away knowing that a lot of thought and care has gone into making sure SIP keeps you safe

Can the SIP Valve be used with any type of mask?

Yes, it is compatible with most mask types, including FFP3, FFP2, N95, KF94, KN95, surgical, and cloth masks.
