F102679003 - ESAB Yellow Plastic Pear Hanger for OMP/MP Strip Curtains

Technical Overview

The ESAB F102679003 Plastic Pear is a specialized suspension component engineered for the OMP and MP series of welding strip curtain systems. Manufactured from high-grade, impact-resistant plastic, this clip is designed to bear the weight of standard PVC welding strips while allowing for the necessary articulation required for personnel and equipment passage. The component features a distinct pear-shaped geometry that interfaces securely with the tubular or profiled mounting rails typical of the OMP/MP infrastructure.

In industrial environments, the integrity of welding isolation barriers is critical for safety and contamination control. This clip serves as the primary mechanical interface between the static rail and the flexible strip. Its yellow coloration is not merely aesthetic but serves as a visual indicator for inspection and safety zoning. The material properties are selected to resist degradation from UV exposure incidental to welding arcs, as well as general shop contaminants.

Maintenance personnel utilizing the F102679003 can expect a direct OEM fit, eliminating the need for retrofitting or makeshift solutions. Proper suspension of strip curtains ensures optimal overlap and sealing, which is vital for containing welding fumes, sparks, and UV radiation within designated zones. This part is supplied individually, allowing for targeted replacement of damaged units without the necessity of purchasing complete assembly kits.
