KP4100-1 - Lincoln Viking Replacement Ratchet Headgear KP4100-1

Genuine Lincoln Electric Replacement Headgear

Maintain the optimal performance and comfort of your Lincoln Electric welding helmet with the KP4100-1 Ratchet Style Headgear. Designed as a direct replacement for the original suspension system found in Viking™ series helmets, this assembly ensures your welding hood remains securely positioned during critical welding operations. A properly fitted helmet is essential not just for comfort, but for safety, ensuring the auto-darkening filter stays aligned with the welder's line of sight and protecting the neck and face from arc rays.

The KP4100-1 features a traditional ratchet mechanism that allows for easy, one-handed tightening or loosening, even while wearing welding gloves. This "press-and-turn" design provides a secure fit that won't slip as you move or nod the helmet down. The assembly includes top slide adjustments, allowing operators to control the vertical position of the helmet (ride height) and the distance from the face, accommodating different head shapes and the use of respirators or safety glasses.

Comfort is paramount for professional welders working long shifts. This headgear kit comes pre-installed with a soft, absorbent sweatband. This component serves a dual purpose: it cushions the forehead against the plastic suspension band to eliminate pressure points, and it wicks away moisture to keep perspiration from running into the welder's eyes. Compatible with a wide range of Lincoln hoods, including the 1740, 1840, 2450, and 3350 series, this is an essential spare part for any fabrication shop looking to extend the life of their safety equipment.
