0349311915 - ESAB Fan Guard Grill for Caddy Series

Genuine ESAB Replacement Component for Equipment Maintenance

The ESAB 0349311915 Grill is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of ESAB welding power sources, particularly within the portable inverter ranges such as the Caddy series. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, the structural integrity of the machine's housing is paramount not only for operator safety but for the longevity of the internal electronics. This grill serves as the primary intake or exhaust guard for the machine's thermal management system.

Constructed to meet ESAB's rigorous Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications, this part ensures that the airflow dynamics of the power source are maintained exactly as the engineers intended. Unlike generic or makeshift covers, the 0349311915 grill provides the correct ratio of open area to solid structure. This balance is vital; it must allow sufficient cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air to pass through to cool the rectifier and inverter boards while simultaneously blocking the ingress of larger workshop debris, such as metal shavings, packaging materials, or tools that could cause catastrophic internal short circuits.

For Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) professionals, using genuine parts like this grill is essential for preserving the equipment's IP (Ingress Protection) rating. A cracked or missing grill exposes the high-speed cooling fan to damage and creates a safety hazard for the operator. Replacing a damaged grill immediately prevents more costly repairs down the line, such as fan motor burnout or thermal overload shutdowns due to obstructed or turbulent airflow. This component is designed for a precise fit, ensuring that installation is straightforward and does not require modification to the machine chassis.

Whether you are refurbishing a fleet of rental machines or performing a quick field repair, the ESAB 0349311915 ensures that your welding equipment returns to service with its factory-level protection and cooling efficiency intact. Trust in OEM quality to maximize the lifespan and reliability of your industrial welding assets.
