K4115-10 - 3-Inch Hose Coupler for Fume Extraction

Lincoln Electric K4115-10 Hose-To-Hose Connector (3 in.)

The Lincoln Electric K4115-10 is a specialized hose-to-hose connector designed to facilitate the extension and customization of fume extraction systems. In the welding and industrial fabrication sectors, maintaining effective air quality control is paramount. Often, standard hose lengths are insufficient to reach specific work zones or maneuver around complex assemblies. This connector serves as the critical link, allowing users to seamlessly join two 3-inch (76mm) diameter hoses together, effectively doubling the reach or allowing for custom length configurations.

Engineered with precision, the K4115-10 ensures a tight, secure fit between hose sections. This is vital for fume extraction applications where maintaining vacuum pressure is essential for capturing hazardous particulates and gases at the source. A loose or poorly fitted connection can lead to air leaks, significantly reducing the efficiency of the extraction unit and potentially exposing operators to harmful fumes. The K4115-10 is built to prevent such issues, providing a reliable seal that supports the high-performance standards of Lincoln Electric equipment.

Durability is a key feature of this component. Constructed to withstand the rigors of an industrial environment, it resists wear and tear associated with daily shop use. Whether used in a stationary maintenance bay or a mobile repair unit, this connector maintains its structural integrity. It is compatible with a wide range of 3-inch hoses commonly found on portable fume extractors like the Miniflex or Statiflex units, making it a versatile addition to any safety equipment inventory.

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools, allowing for quick adjustments to the extraction setup. By enabling the connection of multiple hose segments, the K4115-10 enhances the flexibility of the workspace, ensuring that safety equipment can be positioned exactly where it is needed most. This simple yet effective component is an indispensable accessory for maintaining a safe and compliant welding environment.
