RKI GX-3R Pro Hand Aspirated Sample Adapter 81-1162
Description
The RKI GX-3R Pro Hand Aspirated Sample Adapter lets personnel test hazardous atmospheres without entering dangerous zones. A remote sampling hose and probe attach directly to the GX-3R Pro gas monitor, drawing air samples from confined spaces, elevated areas, or hard-to-reach locations while the operator remains at a safe standoff distance.
Available in six hose lengths — 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 50 feet — to match the geometry of the space being tested. Essential for industrial hygiene assessments, confined space pre-entry testing under 29 CFR 1910.146, and rescue pre-entry evaluations.
Part Numbers:
81-1162 — Adapter with 10-ft hose & probe
81-1162-15 — Adapter with 15-ft hose & probe
81-1162-20 — Adapter with 20-ft hose & probe

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this adapter compatible with the standard GX-3R (non-Pro)?
No. The 81-1162 series is designed for the
GX-3R Pro only. The standard
GX-3R uses a different hand-aspirated adapter — the
81-1161. Confirm the monitor model before ordering to ensure the adapter fits correctly.
How do I choose the right hose length?
Select a hose length that reaches the sampling point while keeping the operator outside the hazardous zone. For vertical confined spaces such as manholes, measure the depth and add length for the operator's reach. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 requires testing the atmosphere at multiple depths — top, middle, and bottom — before entry, so the hose must reach the lowest point of the space.
Does hand aspiration affect measurement accuracy compared to a powered pump?
Hand aspiration relies on the operator squeezing the monitor's bellows to draw a sample, which requires manual technique for consistent results. For longer hose lengths or very small confined spaces, a powered pump — such as the
RP-3R Pro Sample Drawing Pump — provides more consistent airflow and a longer maximum sampling range. Call
800.829.9580 if guidance on the right sampling method is needed.
What confined space regulations apply to pre-entry gas testing?
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 (Permit-Required Confined Spaces) requires atmospheric testing for oxygen content, flammable gases/vapors (LEL), and toxic air contaminants before and during entry into permit spaces. The OSHA PEL for H2S under 29 CFR 1910.1000 is 20 ppm ceiling, and the OSHA PEL for CO is 50 ppm as an 8-hour TWA. These are compliance thresholds — site SOPs and monitor alarm setpoints may differ.
Can PK Safety service or calibrate the GX-3R Pro?
Yes. PK Safety services RKI Instruments monitors in-house with factory-trained technicians, including calibration, sensor replacement, and full repair of the GX-3R Pro. Call
800.829.9580 to arrange service or request a return authorization.
Are replacement probes or hoses available separately?
Contact PK Safety at
800.829.9580 to check availability of replacement hoses, probes, and adapter components for the 81-1162 series. A technician can look up the correct part numbers and confirm current stock.
