The specification discloses a supplied air respirator system for delivering air to a painter who is using a compressed air line leading to a hand-held paint spray unit. A supply tap is located in the compressed air line for removing a supply of compressed air for delivery to the painter. The tap is located in the compressed air line proximate to the hand-held paint spray unit and is configured to be oriented generally vertically above the air line so that the tendency of particles to be drawn into the tap is reduced. A valve connected to the tap is configured to be controlled by the painter for selectively removing a supply of air from the compressed air line. A delivery tube delivers air to the painter from the valve and a filter located in the delivery tube removes particulates out of the air taken from the air line. The delivery tube is connected to a mask worn by the painter for receiving and containing the air. A bag attached to the mask is configured to receive the air entering the mask from the delivery tube to provide a reservoir of air for the mask. A diverter is located wherein the delivery tube enters the mask to divert the flow of fluid in the direction of the bag so that condensate or particles in the air are deposited into the bag before the air passes into the mask.
