Abstract: A full face respirator mask (10) includes a face shield portion (12) with the seal (20) surrounding a lens portion (14). Inhalation ports (16) and an exhalation port (18) are formed at the lower portion of the lens (14). A center adapter (30) includes a nose cup (40) and an exhalation valve (38) in the center orifice (18). The inhalation ports (16,116) are placed at each side of the exhalation port (18) and include connector portions (50,150) formed with the lens (14) or ultrasonically welded to the lens (14). The connector portions (50) include male connectors (58) in a first embodiment and female connectors (150) in a second embodiment receiving complementary formed connectors of a breathable air source.
