K3968-1 - X-Tractor 3A Fume Gun and Nozzle Connection Kit

Maximize Your Fume Extraction Efficiency

The Lincoln Electric K3968-1 Connection Kit is a critical accessory designed specifically for the X-Tractor 3A fume extraction system. In industrial environments where air quality and safety compliance are paramount, having the right connection hardware is essential for maintaining an effective capture zone. This kit serves as the bridge between your high-vacuum extraction unit and the point-of-source capture devices, such as fume extraction guns or suction nozzles.

At the heart of this kit lies the VV-50 distribution valve. This robust component is engineered to manage airflow efficiently, splitting the vacuum source into multiple usable ports. The valve features three distinct outlets: two with an outside diameter of 50 mm (2 inches) and one larger outlet with an outside diameter of 76 mm (3 inches). This configuration provides flexibility in shop layout, allowing facility managers to configure their extraction setup according to the specific needs of the welding station.

Integration is seamless thanks to the included adapters. The kit comes supplied with S20591-8 Hose to Tube adapters, which are specifically designed to mate 1-3/4 inch (45 mm) inner diameter hoses to the valve's 50 mm outlets. This ensures a tight, leak-free seal that maintains vacuum pressure and prevents fugitive fumes from escaping back into the workspace. Whether you are outfitting a new welding cell or upgrading an existing X-Tractor 3A unit, the K3968-1 ensures that your equipment operates at peak performance, protecting personnel and adhering to strict industrial hygiene standards.

By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric parts, you ensure compatibility and durability. The components in this kit are built to withstand the rigors of heavy fabrication environments, resisting wear from abrasive particulate and handling. Proper connection of fume extraction hoses is the first step in effective fume control, and this kit provides the professional-grade solution required for serious industrial applications.
