Hoses, lenses, chargers and carry items for a powered air welding helmet system, with tips on choosing and care.
Check the system label on the blower unit and the manual, then match the hose by its part reference or by the old hose if it carries markings. Hoses differ in length, connector type and how they join the helmet, and these must suit your system.Do not swap in a hose from a different system just because it connects. Flow and sealing depend on the whole set working together, and the maker's approved parts are the safe choice. If you are unsure, our team can help you check the details before you order.
Look along its full length for cuts, cracks, kinks, burnt patches and stiffness, and pay particular attention to the ends where it joins the helmet and the blower, since that is where wear tends to show first. Check the seals or gaskets at both ends are present and undamaged.A damaged hose can leak, reduce airflow or let spatter through, so replace it rather than patch it. Clean only as the maker's manual says, and let the inside dry fully before use or storage.
A maker's manual describes pressing in a side clip to release the old lens, then attaching the new one to one clip, pulling it round and snapping it into the other. The gasket needs firm pressure to seal, so check the lens sits all the way round with no gaps where spatter or dust could get in.Follow your own manual, as designs differ. Make sure the protective film, if fitted, is removed, and handle the lens by its edges so the surface stays clean.
A multi-bay charger charges several batteries at once, which suits teams or long shifts where batteries are rotated. Check it is made for your battery type, because chargers are not interchangeable between systems.Also check the mains plug type matches your socket and the supply, since the same charger is made with different plugs for different regions. Use it only in dry, ventilated conditions as the maker describes, and follow the manual for charging time and indicator lights.
