OVERVIEW

Maintain Compliance and Safety with Genuine OEM Parts

In the industrial procurement landscape, maintaining the integrity of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is paramount for both safety compliance and operational efficiency. The Jackson Safety Replacement Headgear (KCP23442) is the specific OEM component designed to service the Jackson Safety Element series of welding helmets. When a helmet's suspension system fails or wears out, the shell itself often remains viable; replacing just the headgear is a strategic, cost-effective maintenance decision that extends the asset's lifecycle and reduces unnecessary waste.

This assembly is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the Element series, ensuring that the auto-darkening filter (ADF) remains properly positioned relative to the user's eyes. A loose or incompatible headgear can lead to helmet slippage, exposing the welder to harmful UV/IR radiation or arc flash. By stocking the KCP23442, safety managers ensure that downtime is minimized. If a welder's gear breaks mid-shift, having the correct replacement part on hand means they can return to work immediately, rather than waiting for a new helmet to be sourced and delivered.

The KCP23442 features a robust construction suitable for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments. It includes the complete suspension system required to refurbish the helmet, including the ratchet mechanism and overhead straps. For supply chain managers, identifying the correct SKU is critical; this part is distinct from the premium "370" headgear used in other Jackson models, specifically fitting the budget-friendly Element line. Investing in genuine Jackson Safety parts guarantees that the fit, balance, and safety ratings of the original equipment are preserved.

Key Supply Chain Benefits:

  • Cost Efficiency: Repairing existing helmets costs a fraction of full replacement.
  • Inventory Management: Compact packaging allows for high-density storage in vending machines or tool cribs.
  • Brand Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for Jackson Safety Element shells, eliminating return risks due to incompatibility.

FAQ

No, this headgear (KCP23442) is specifically designed for the Jackson Safety Element series. The Insight and Halo models typically use the Jackson 370 series headgear, which has different mounting points.

Yes, the assembly includes the necessary knobs and washers to attach the headgear to the helmet shell.

Yes, a standard absorbent sweatband comes pre-installed on the forehead section of the headgear.

Installation is tool-free. Simply unscrew the external tension knobs on your helmet, remove the old headgear, align the new headgear with the square lugs on the shell, and re-tighten the knobs.

It is not recommended. The mounting lug pattern is specific to Jackson Safety Element shells. Using it on other brands may result in an insecure fit and compromised safety.

The straps are made from a durable, high-impact thermoplastic (nylon/polyethylene blend) designed to withstand the heat and sparks typical of welding environments.

No, the ratchet mechanism is integrated into the rear headband. If the ratchet fails, the entire headgear assembly should be replaced.

Jackson Safety typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Wear and tear items like headgear generally have a limited warranty period upon receipt.
