The ESAB Sleeve Air Curtain (SKU: 21211) is a specialized protective accessory designed to enhance the durability and longevity of Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems. In industrial welding environments, the breathing tube connecting the blower unit to the helmet is frequently exposed to harsh conditions, including flying sparks, molten spatter, and abrasive surfaces. Standard rubber or plastic corrugated hoses, while flexible, are susceptible to burn-through and mechanical damage. This protective sleeve acts as a sacrificial barrier, shielding the critical air supply line from thermal and physical hazards.
Manufactured from high-grade flame-retardant fabric, the Sleeve Air Curtain is engineered to resist ignition and prevent heat transfer to the underlying hose. Its tubular design allows it to be easily installed over existing breathing tubes, providing full-length coverage without compromising the flexibility or airflow of the system. By preventing direct contact with hot slag and sharp edges, this accessory significantly reduces the frequency of hose replacements, thereby lowering long-term maintenance costs for the safety equipment fleet.
This component is particularly essential for applications involving overhead welding or confined spaces where the air hose is more likely to come into contact with the welding arc or hot base materials. It is compatible with ESAB's range of PAPR systems and can often be adapted for use with other standard air-fed helmet configurations. The sleeve is a critical preventive maintenance item that ensures the integrity of the welder's respiratory protection system.
