Ready-to-Use Hearing Protection
Howard Leight FDT-30 reusable corded ear plugs arrive in a bulk box of 100 pairs for immediate distribution. The flanged vinyl design fits a universal medium size and meets ANSI S 3.19-1974 testing with a Noise Reduction Rating of 25 dB. Blue colour coding allows quick visual checks on site.
Durable Materials and Secure Fit
Thermoplastic elastomer flanges resist repeated cleaning while the PVC cord keeps each pair together during breaks. Metal-detectable construction supports safety protocols in food or pharmaceutical environments. The corded layout reduces loss and speeds up donning and doffing throughout a shift.
Step Up from Disposable Foam
Workers who discard single-use plugs daily gain a reusable alternative that cuts waste and recurring cost. The upgrade makes sense when noise levels demand a verified 25 dB rating and when metal-detectable PPE is mandatory. Buyers needing higher attenuation or a different flange profile should evaluate other models.

Questions about this item
What does the ANSI S3.19-1974 standard mean for the 25 dB rating on these plugs?
The ANSI S3.19-1974 test method measures attenuation under laboratory conditions; the 25 dB NRR is a population estimate, so actual protection varies with fit, wear time and the noise spectrum in your workplace.
What are the flange dimensions and stem length so I can confirm they fit my ear canals?
The plugs are listed as universal size Medium with a flanged shape made of vinyl; no flange diameter, stem length or insertion depth figures are published by the manufacturer.
How do I insert the flanged plugs correctly, and what is the most common mistake?
Roll the stem between thumb and forefinger to compress the flanges, pull the outer ear up and back, slide the plug in until the flanges seal, then hold for a few seconds; the frequent error is releasing the ear too early before the flanges expand fully.
