OVERVIEW

Genuine Replacement Hardware for Walter Airplus Systems

The Walter Airplus Hg Kit (SKU: AP-HG-K) is a specialized maintenance component designed specifically for the Walter Airplus line of welding safety equipment. In the industrial environment, personal protective equipment (PPE) is subjected to rigorous daily use, often leading to the wear and tear of small moving parts and fasteners. This kit addresses that specific need by providing a complete set of replacement knobs and screws essential for the proper function of the Airplus headgear assembly. Maintaining the integrity of the headgear connection points is critical not only for operator comfort but for compliance with safety standards, as a loose helmet can compromise the auto-darkening filter's positioning relative to the user's eyes.

This kit is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring that every screw thread and knob dimension matches the original specifications of the Airplus unit perfectly. Using non-OEM hardware on safety devices can lead to poor fitment, stripping of plastic threads, or unexpected failure during operation. The AP-HG-K kit eliminates these risks. It is an essential stock item for tool cribs and safety managers responsible for maintaining a fleet of Walter welding helmets, allowing for immediate on-site repairs that keep welders protected and productive.

The components included in this kit are manufactured from high-durability materials capable of withstanding the heat, dust, and mechanical stress typical of welding and fabrication shops. The knobs are designed for easy manipulation, even while wearing welding gloves, allowing operators to adjust tension and fit on the fly. By replacing worn fasteners promptly with this kit, facilities can significantly extend the service life of their premium Walter Airplus helmets, maximizing the return on investment for their safety equipment.

Installation is straightforward and requires standard tools, making it accessible for maintenance personnel or the end-users themselves. Whether dealing with a lost screw during a cleaning cycle or a tension knob that has lost its grip over time, the Walter AP-HG-K provides the exact solution required to restore the equipment to factory-standard functionality.
