0812430001 - ESAB Warrior Tech Air Duct Spatter Guard

Protect Your Equipment with the ESAB Spatter Shield

The ESAB Spatter Shield (0812430001) is a critical maintenance component designed specifically for ESAB welding helmets configured for air ventilation, such as the Warrior Tech Prepared for Air and Aristo Tech Prepared for Air models. In heavy industrial welding environments, the generation of molten spatter, sparks, and slag is inevitable. While the helmet shell protects the welder's face, the external components of a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system—specifically the air duct connection points—are often vulnerable to thermal damage. This spatter shield acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing the impact of hot debris and preventing it from compromising the integrity of the air channel.

Manufactured from durable, heat-resistant composite materials, this shield is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of MIG, TIG, and Stick welding. It fits securely over the air duct assembly on the top or back of the helmet shell, ensuring that the ventilation path remains unobstructed while being shielded from direct contact with hot metal. Failure to use a spatter shield on air-fed helmets can lead to melted ducts, air leaks, and ultimately, a failure of the respiratory protection system, necessitating expensive repairs or replacements.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) managers, ensuring that every air-fed helmet is equipped with a functional spatter shield is a small investment that yields significant long-term savings. By protecting the core infrastructure of the helmet, you extend the lifecycle of the PPE and ensure compliance with safety standards. This genuine ESAB part guarantees a perfect fit, maintaining the balance and comfort of the helmet without requiring modifications.

Key Technical Benefits
