K3985-1 - Lincoln Electric Spark Arrestor for Deutz TD2.9L4 Engines

Compliance and Safety for Industrial Operations

The Lincoln Electric K3985-1 Spark Arrestor Kit is a critical component for industrial maintenance and operations teams managing fleets of engine-driven welders. Designed specifically for units powered by the Deutz TD2.9L4 Tier 4 Final Engine, this kit provides a verified solution for mitigating fire risks associated with diesel engine exhaust. In many industrial sectors, particularly those involving pipeline construction, forestry, and remote infrastructure repair, adherence to environmental safety regulations is mandatory. This spark arrestor is approved by the US Forestry Service, ensuring that your equipment meets the stringent requirements necessary to operate on federal lands and in other regulated environments where fire hazards are a primary concern.

Technically, the K3985-1 functions by trapping carbon particles and other hot debris that may be expelled from the engine's exhaust system before they can exit into the atmosphere. This is achieved without creating excessive backpressure that could negatively impact the performance or fuel efficiency of the Deutz power plant. The kit is engineered as an exhaust tube mount, facilitating a direct and secure attachment to the existing exhaust architecture of the welder. For MRO managers, integrating this component is a proactive measure that safeguards assets, ensures regulatory compliance, and prevents costly downtime associated with safety violations or environmental accidents.

Robust Construction and Compatibility

Lincoln Electric has manufactured this kit to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial use. The materials used are selected for their heat resistance and durability, ensuring a long service life even under continuous welding loads. The kit includes the spark arrestor unit itself along with all necessary mounting hardware, streamlining the procurement and installation process for maintenance technicians. By utilizing OEM-specified accessories like the K3985-1, organizations ensure seamless compatibility with their Lincoln Electric welding generators, maintaining the integrity of the equipment's warranty and performance standards. This specific SKU is tailored strictly for the Deutz TD2.9L4 configuration, highlighting the importance of precise part selection in fleet maintenance.
