Honeywell bk-kvs-2-14-n Cut-resistant Sleeve Ansi A3

Product Description

The HONEYWELL bk-kvs-2-14-n is an 18-gauge HPPE knit cut-resistant protective sleeve designed to shield the wrist and forearm from cuts, abrasions, and punctures during industrial and trade work. Constructed from a blend of HPPE, nylon, and spandex, the sleeve stretches for a snug fit on most arm sizes while remaining low-linting and free of glass fibers. It meets ANSI cut protection level A3, ANSI puncture protection level 4, and EN 388:2016 ratings of 2X23C. The black colorway resists visible soiling and extends usable service life in demanding environments. Licensed tradespeople and industrial workers performing cutting, handling, or fabrication tasks are the primary users.

This sleeve is suited for assembly operations, automotive work, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and metallurgy applications. At 14 inches in length, it provides coverage from the wrist up the forearm, making it effective during knife sharpening, finishing plastics, and handling abrasive or sharp materials such as sheet metal, glass, blades, and cables. The knit cuff style and one-size-fits-most construction allow quick donning and removal on the job. Sold in a case of 10, it is a practical stock item for safety coordinators and shop supervisors managing PPE inventory.

Key Features

• 18-gauge HPPE knit construction offers higher tensile strength than aramid fibers while remaining softer and more comfortable
• ANSI cut protection level A3 and ANSI puncture protection level 4 ratings
• EN 388:2016 certified with ratings of 2X23C for abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture
• Low-linting material with no glass fibers, suitable for cleanroom-adjacent and food-adjacent environments
• Spandex content allows the sleeve to stretch and conform to most arm sizes without bunching
• Black color conceals dirt and extends the effective lifespan of each sleeve in high-soil environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cut-resistant sleeve for use in assembly, automotive, and industrial environments where ANSI A3 forearm protection is required.

Installation Notes

PPE sleeves require no tools for donning and are applied directly over the bare arm or over a base-layer garment. Inspect each sleeve before use for snags, cuts, or degraded material that may reduce protective performance. Follow the facility safety program and applicable OSHA PPE requirements when selecting and deploying cut-resistant sleeves. Launder per the manufacturer care instructions to maintain cut-resistance ratings over time.
