KCP14948 - Jackson Safety 137 Capshield Aluminum Flip-Front Hard Hat Adapter

Jackson Safety 14948 Capshield 137 Overview

The Jackson Safety 14948 Capshield 137 is a specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) accessory designed to bridge the gap between industrial head protection and welding safety. Engineered for durability and reliability, this adapter allows users to securely mount a welding helmet front directly onto a standard safety cap (hard hat). This integration is critical in construction, heavy manufacturing, and industrial environments where overhead hazards necessitate the continuous use of a hard hat, even while welding.

Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the Model 137 Capshield is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Unlike plastic adapters that may warp or degrade under high heat or exposure to welding spatter, the aluminum body maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a secure fit over time. The unit features a robust blade mount system that slides securely into the accessory slots or mounts onto the brim of compatible safety caps, providing a stable platform for the welding shield.

One of the standout features of this unit is its flip-front capability. This mechanism allows the welder to flip the welding filter or visor up when not actively welding, facilitating clear vision for grinding, inspection, or setup tasks without the need to remove the entire hard hat or safety assembly. This significantly improves workflow efficiency and compliance, as the user remains protected by the hard hat at all times.

The KCP14948 is designed for ease of assembly and compatibility with Jackson Safety welding fronts. It represents a practical solution for safety managers and welders looking to maintain strict safety standards without compromising on comfort or functionality. The metallic finish also aids in heat deflection, further protecting the user during high-amperage welding operations.
