DeVilbiss Concept: A Legal Booth Is a Filtered Booth
The Concept predates the rules it now answers to. Fourteen 39 x 39 ceiling pads and a fed exhaust grid keep it painting and keep it compliant.
Here is the awkward truth about legacy downdrafts: the regulations aged better than the paperwork. A Concept still in service is subject to EPA 6H, OSHA spray-finishing ventilation rules, and NFPA 33 exactly as a booth delivered this year would be, but its original documentation has usually scattered. What survived, in this booth's case, is the filter record: the Concept's ceiling program appears in a 2003 Viledon filter catalog. That paper trail is worth more than nostalgia. It means the media that keeps this booth compliant is identified and stocked, not reconstructed from a tape measure and hope.
Quick answer
The DeVilbiss Concept is a downdraft spray booth from the DeVilbiss line now under Carlisle Fluid Technologies. Its ceiling intake program is documented at 14 filters in the 39 x 39 inch format, matched today by catalog SKUs 560-100 (PA 560 G-10 pad) and 02560393914 (Filtrair FF560GX diffusion filter). Exhaust arrestor media is available in compatible fiberglass roll stock such as 14AG41300 (41 inch x 300 foot) and 200-090 (40 inch x 100 foot). The fitment is catalog-discovered, so exhaust grid dimensions get confirmed against your booth before bulk orders.
How Concept shops choose filters
Intake ceiling. Fourteen pads at 39 x 39 inches fill the Concept's ceiling plenum. Two current SKUs match the position: 560-100, the PA 560 G-10 pad, and 02560393914, the Filtrair FF560GX diffusion filter in the same cut. Both are ceiling-diffusion polyester. Fourteen pads is a modest set to replace, so there is little excuse for running a tired ceiling in this booth.
Exhaust grid. The exhaust side takes fiberglass arrestor roll media, with 14AG41300 at 41 inches by 300 feet for shops that cut their own and 200-090 at 40 inches by 100 feet as the smaller commitment. Because this fitment was discovered through filter-catalog documentation rather than a field visit, we treat exhaust grid dimensions as confirm-first: measure one opening, count the grid, and the roll width and cut plan follow.
Cycle math. Roll stock changes the maintenance arithmetic in the shop's favor. A single roll covers many changes, so the marginal cost of swapping exhaust media early is small. Let the ceiling run its longer cycle; feed the exhaust grid promptly.
Regulatory landscape
NESHAP 6H requires spray operations using target coatings to exhaust through filter technology, operated and maintained with records; for a legacy booth, consistent media in documented sizes plus dated change records is what demonstrating compliance actually looks like. OSHA 1910.94(c) requires maintained ventilation velocity during spraying, and an old downdraft loses that velocity through blinded exhaust media long before anything mechanical fails. NFPA 33 limits combustible overspray accumulation, so timely arrestor changes and same-day disposal of loaded media are fire code, not housekeeping. An inspector meeting a decades-old booth looks harder at the records, not softer.
Who runs the Concept
Concept owners today are mostly stewards rather than first buyers. Family collision shops where the booth went in during a previous generation's ownership and still holds air like it should. Restoration and specialty paint operations that prize a proven downdraft and have no interest in financing its replacement. And rural shops where the booth is the only one for miles. What these shops need is undramatic: the right 39 x 39 pads on the shelf, roll stock for the grid, and a reorder that fires without anyone having to remember the booth is old.
Concept filter FAQs
How was the DeVilbiss Concept fitment documented if the booth is out of production?
Through filter-industry records: the Concept's ceiling program, 14 filters at 39 x 39 inches, appears in a 2003 Viledon filter catalog, and that documentation was cross-referenced into our fitment system. Catalog-discovered fitments are reliable for the documented positions; the rest, like your exhaust grid, get confirmed by measurement.
Which 39 x 39 ceiling pad should I choose?
Both matched SKUs are ceiling-diffusion polyester in the correct cut: 560-100 is the PA 560 G-10 pad, and 02560393914 is the Filtrair FF560GX. They serve the same position; shops standardize on one for consistent loading behavior across changes.
Is an old booth like the Concept still legal to spray in?
Yes, provided it is operated within today's rules: exhaust filtration in place and maintained (NESHAP 6H), design airflow held during spraying (OSHA 1910.94(c)), and overspray accumulation controlled (NFPA 33). Age alone does not disqualify a booth. Undocumented maintenance is what creates the exposure, which is why the filter change log matters as much as the filters.
What do I need to confirm before ordering exhaust media?
Measure one exhaust grid opening and count the openings, then match that against the compatible roll widths (41 inch and 40 inch stock are the documented options). The ceiling fitment is documented at 14 pads of 39 x 39, but exhaust layouts on legacy installations vary with repairs and modifications, so we confirm the cut plan before a bulk roll ships.
Can I put higher-grade media in the ceiling to improve finish quality?
The available 39 x 39 options are already diffusion-grade polyester, which is the correct class for a downdraft ceiling; going denser than the fan was designed to pull creates airflow problems rather than cleaner paint. The bigger wins on a Concept are a complete, evenly aged ceiling set and an exhaust grid that never runs saturated. Fitments here are cross-referenced from distributor and manufacturer catalogs and verified by the WERCS service team.
