KP4474-1 - Lincoln Viking 3250D FGS PAPR Helmet Assembly

Unmatched Visibility and Protection

The Lincoln Electric Viking 3250D FGS PAPR Welding Helmet Assembly (KP4474-1) represents the pinnacle of welding safety and optical performance. Designed for professional fabricators who demand the best, this assembly integrates seamlessly with Lincoln's Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems to deliver clean air while maintaining exceptional visibility. The core of this helmet is the revolutionary 4C® Lens Technology, which filters out the traditional lime-green tint found in standard auto-darkening filters. This results in a true-color view of the arc, puddle, and base material, allowing for precise electrode placement and superior weld quality.

Maximize Productivity with FGS

The "FGS" in the model name stands for Flip Grind Shield, a feature engineered to streamline workflow in high-production environments. Instead of switching between a welding helmet and a separate face shield for grinding, the operator can simply flip up the auto-darkening module to reveal a clear, high-impact grind shield. This integrated solution not only saves time but also ensures continuous respiratory and face protection during grinding operations. The clear shield, combined with the Shade 5 side windows, provides a 161-degree field of view, significantly reducing the "tunnel vision" effect often associated with traditional welding hoods.

Superior Optical Clarity

Optical quality is quantified by the European Norm (EN) 379 standard, and the Viking 3250D FGS achieves a perfect 1/1/1/1 rating. This score indicates zero blurriness, zero distortion, consistent shading across the lens, and consistent shading at angles. With a massive 12.5 square inch viewing area, welders have an unobstructed view of their workpiece, enhancing control and reducing neck strain caused by constant repositioning. The digital controls allow for quick and precise adjustments to shade, sensitivity, and delay settings, ensuring the helmet is always optimized for the specific welding process being performed.

Designed for Comfort and Safety

Weighing in at approximately 3 lbs 3 oz, the helmet assembly is balanced to minimize fatigue during long shifts. The included premium headgear offers multiple adjustment points to distribute weight evenly. The assembly comes complete with the helmet shell, auto-darkening lens, head covering, air duct, and necessary protective lenses, making it a comprehensive replacement or upgrade for your existing PAPR system. Whether working in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, or general construction, the KP4474-1 provides the safety and clarity required for top-tier performance.
