KP4472-1 - Lincoln Electric 3250D FGS PAPR Replacement Helmet Shell (Shell Only)

Restore Your PAPR System with the Lincoln KP4472-1

The Lincoln Electric KP4472-1 is the definitive replacement helmet shell designed specifically for the Viking 3250D FGS PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) welding helmet system. In the demanding environments of heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural welding, the outer shell of your safety gear takes the brunt of sparks, spatter, and impact. Over time, this wear can compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. The KP4472-1 allows you to replace the shell itself without the expense of purchasing a completely new PAPR assembly, ensuring your equipment remains safe and compliant.

Proprietary Nylon Construction

Lincoln Electric utilizes a proprietary nylon formulation for the 3250D FGS shell. This material is engineered to offer a higher strength-to-weight ratio than standard welding helmet plastics. It provides exceptional resistance to high heat and impact, making it suitable for high-amperage welding applications where durability is paramount. Despite its rugged nature, the shell remains lightweight (approximately 6 oz), contributing to the overall comfort of the PAPR system and reducing neck fatigue during extended use.

What Is Included?

This product is the shell only. It is intended for users who already own the 3250D FGS PAPR system and need to swap out a damaged exterior. It includes the necessary hook and loop internal mounting strips to attach head coverings securely. Please note that this SKU does not include the auto-darkening filter (ADF), the headgear suspension system, or the air ducting assembly. These components must be transferred from your existing helmet or purchased separately.

Seamless Integration

As a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, the KP4472-1 guarantees a perfect fit for your existing 3250D FGS components. There is no need for modification; simply disassemble your current setup, transfer the internal components to the new shell, and return to work with confidence. This replacement part is essential for maintaining the high safety standards required in industries such as pressure vessel manufacturing and pipeline construction.
