KP1673-5 - Lincoln Electric Prism Aluminum Pre-Filter & Spark Arrestor

Genuine Lincoln Electric Spark Arrestor and Pre-Filter

Ensure the longevity and safety of your fume extraction equipment with the Lincoln Electric KP1673-5 Pre-Filter. Designed as a direct replacement for Lincoln's Prism® line of mobile and wall-mounted extractors, this component is vital for any shop handling high-volume welding or fabrication. The filter is crafted from high-quality aluminum mesh, engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of industrial environments while providing reliable mechanical filtration.

The primary advantage of the KP1673-5 is its ability to act as a spark arrestor. During welding processes like MIG or Stick welding, hot sparks are often drawn into the extraction arm. Without a pre-filter, these sparks can land on the main filter media, potentially causing smoldering or fires. The KP1673-5 intercepts these sparks, neutralizing the thermal hazard. Furthermore, it acts as a "rough" filter, trapping large debris and contaminants that would otherwise saturate the high-efficiency main filter too quickly. This multi-stage filtration approach ensures that your expensive MERV-rated main filters last longer, saving you money on replacements.

This unit is washable and reusable, making it an eco-friendly and economical choice for busy workshops. Regular cleaning of the pre-filter ensures consistent suction power and protects the internal components of your fume extractor. Compatible with Prism Mobile, Prism Wall, and legacy units like the Mobiflex 200-M and Statiflex 200-M, the KP1673-5 is a versatile and indispensable accessory for maintaining clean air and a safe working environment.
