0349312050 - ESAB PAPR Air Hose Protective Sleeve

Protect Your Investment with the ESAB Shielding Net

The ESAB Shielding Net (0349312050) is a vital accessory designed to safeguard the breathing tubes of ESAB's Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems. In the fast-paced and hazardous world of industrial welding, your equipment faces constant threats from flying sparks, molten spatter, and abrasive surfaces. While the PAPR unit itself is built for toughness, the flexible air hose connecting the blower to the helmet is often the most vulnerable component. Damage to this hose not only compromises the safety of the welder by potentially breaching the sealed air system but also leads to frequent and costly replacements.

This shielding net offers a simple yet highly effective solution. Acting as a sacrificial outer layer, it absorbs the brunt of environmental hazards, preventing burns and cuts from reaching the actual breathing tube. It is an original ESAB part, ensuring seamless compatibility with Eco Air and Aristo Air systems. By investing in this protective sleeve, businesses and individual welders can significantly extend the operational life of their respiratory equipment, ensuring that safety standards are maintained without unnecessary downtime or expense.

Key Benefits for the Workshop

Beyond protection, the shielding net is designed for usability. Its mesh construction is lightweight and flexible, ensuring that the welder's range of motion is never restricted. The hose remains pliable, allowing for comfortable head movement during complex welding tasks. Installation is effortless—simply slide the net over the hose before connecting it to the unit. It is an indispensable addition for any welder working in heavy fabrication, shipyards, or structural steel environments where spatter is unavoidable.
