hey, at my shop we use a 3m mask that is designed to filter out particulate as well as metal fumes. Cant remember the model number but we just talked with the sales rep at the BOC dealer (our welding supplier)

Anyone know the easiest way to remove that plastic vent barb, I'd like to change it to a steel fitting. Is it just pressed in? Im thinking of trying to use a screw to extract it though a washer and socket to pull it out.
