043579 - Miller Engine Drive Spark Arrestor Kit

Essential Fire Safety for Engine-Driven Welders

The Miller Spark Arrestor Kit 043579 is a critical safety accessory designed for welders operating in outdoor environments where fire hazards are a concern. This genuine Miller Electric component is engineered to trap hot carbon particles and sparks emitted from the engine exhaust, preventing them from landing on dry vegetation and potentially igniting a wildfire. For professionals working in forestry, agriculture, or remote construction sites, this kit is not just a safety precaution—it is often a legal requirement.

Mandatory Compliance

Operating an engine-driven welder on public lands comes with strict regulations. This spark arrestor kit is mandatory when operating on California grasslands, brush, or forest-covered land, as well as within all National Forests. Failure to use an approved spark arrestor in these areas can result in significant fines and liability. By installing the Miller 043579 kit, you ensure your equipment meets the necessary standards set by the USDA Forest Service and local state laws, allowing you to work legally and responsibly in sensitive environments.

Compatibility and Installation

This kit is designed for specific Miller engine-driven welders. It includes all necessary mounting hardware, making installation straightforward and secure. Important Note: This kit is NOT suitable for Bobcat 225, Bobcat 250, or Bobcat 3-Phase welders manufactured after January 2012. Operators of these newer machines should consult their manual for the appropriate part number. For compatible older models, this OEM kit offers a perfect fit without the need for modification.

Why Choose Genuine Miller Parts?

Using genuine Miller parts ensures that your equipment maintains its original performance and safety standards. Aftermarket or universal spark arrestors may not fit correctly or provide the same level of flow efficiency, potentially causing backpressure issues that could harm your engine. The Miller 043579 is built to withstand the high temperatures and vibration associated with welding operations, providing long-lasting protection and peace of mind.
