KP3706-1 - Lincoln Viking 3250D FGS Replacement Headgear Assembly

Maximize Comfort with the Lincoln Viking FGS 3250D Headgear

The Lincoln Viking FGS 3250D Headgear (KP3706-1) is not just a replacement part; it is the foundational support system for one of the most advanced welding helmets on the market. Designed exclusively for the Viking 3250D FGS Series, this headgear assembly addresses the common fatigue points experienced by professional welders during long shifts. When your helmet's suspension system begins to wear, stability is compromised, leading to constant readjustments and neck strain. Installing a genuine Lincoln Electric replacement restores the factory-fresh feel and balance that the FGS series is known for.

Engineered with ergonomics at the forefront, this headgear features a unique four-point contact system. Unlike standard two-point suspensions that dig into the forehead and base of the skull, the KP3706-1 distributes the helmet's weight evenly across the entire head. This is particularly critical for the FGS (Flip Grind Shield) model, which carries additional weight due to its integrated grinding shield mechanism. The multi-directional weight distribution ensures that the helmet remains stable whether the shield is in the down (welding) or up (grinding/inspecting) position, reducing the torque on your neck muscles.

Customization is key to personal comfort. The headgear offers innovative slide adjustments that allow you to tailor the fit to your specific head shape. The push-button forward and backward adjustments enable you to set the perfect distance between your eyes and the lens, optimizing the field of view and accommodating prescription glasses or safety eyewear. The rear ratchet knob is oversized and rubberized, making it easy to tighten or loosen the fit even while wearing thick welding gloves. Included with the assembly is a soft, absorbent sweatband that prevents moisture from running into your eyes, ensuring your vision remains clear during high-heat applications.

By maintaining your equipment with the correct OEM parts, you ensure safety and productivity. A loose helmet can slip at critical moments, exposing you to arc flash or obstructing your view of the puddle. The Lincoln KP3706-1 secures your Viking 3250D FGS, allowing you to focus entirely on the weld.
