Pip 7012/18 Welding Waist Apron 18 Inches Leather

Product Description

The PIP 7012/18 is a leather welding waist apron built for professional welders working in shops, fabrication facilities, and field environments. Constructed from heat-resistant split cowhide and sewn with Kevlar thread, the apron provides a protective barrier against sparks, spatter, and radiant heat generated during gas welding operations. The waist apron measures 24 inches wide by 18 inches in overall length, offering coverage across the lower torso and upper legs. Adjustable cotton straps with side release buckles allow for a secure, customizable fit over work clothing. Weighing 5 pounds, it delivers durability without excessive bulk during extended wear.

The 7012/18 is intended for professional welders performing gas welding tasks in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. The waist-style cut is suited to tasks requiring full arm mobility while keeping the lower body protected from heat and metal spatter. The golden yellow split cowhide construction is a standard choice in welding PPE for its combination of heat resistance and pliability under repeated use. This apron is appropriate for welding technicians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and other trades regularly exposed to open-flame or arc welding hazards.
