Lincoln Electric KP3942-1 Papr Sar Headgear Viking 3350

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC KP3942-1 is a PAPR/SAR headgear assembly designed as a dedicated accessory for the Viking 3350 welding helmet series. PAPR (Powered Air-Purifying Respirator) and SAR (Supplied Air Respirator) headgear integrates respiratory protection directly with the welding helmet, allowing the welder to maintain both eye and face protection alongside clean-air delivery in a single worn system. This unit weighs 1 pound and is sold individually. It is installed and used by professional welders and safety personnel across a wide range of industrial environments where airborne contaminants require active respiratory controls in addition to standard arc flash and UV protection.

This headgear is suited for demanding applications across multiple industries including automotive fabrication, construction and field erection, heavy equipment manufacturing, military armor plate welding, brewery and distillery work, galvanized steel welding, elevated temperature piping, gasification plants, railroad maintenance, mining operations, and general metal fabrication. Any environment where fume load, particulates, or confined-space conditions require respiratory protection beyond a standard passive respirator makes this type of headgear assembly appropriate. It pairs with the Viking 3350 helmet to deliver an integrated solution for high-exposure welding tasks.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation and fitting should be performed by a qualified safety professional or experienced welder familiar with PAPR and SAR respiratory systems. Before attaching or adjusting the headgear, ensure the air supply hose or blower unit is disconnected and the welding power source is off. Follow the helmet manufacturer guidelines and applicable OSHA respiratory protection standards when configuring the system for site-specific hazard levels. Do not modify the headgear mounting points or suspension components.
