OVERVIEW

Protect Your Shop and Your Wire

Sparks fly in every welding shop—it's part of the job. However, when those sparks land on the cardboard packaging of a bulk wire drum, a routine day can quickly turn into a fire emergency. The Lincoln Electric K3274-1 Drum Cover is designed to stop this problem before it starts. Specifically tailored for 20.4-inch round drums, this cover acts as a fire-resistant shield, allowing you to place your bulk wire supply closer to the work area without violating safety protocols or risking a fire.

Fire Resistant PVC Construction

You wouldn't wear a cotton shirt to weld overhead, so why leave your flammable wire drums exposed? This drum cover is manufactured from durable Fire Resistant (FR) PVC. This specialized material is designed to repel sparks and resist ignition. Whether you are MIG welding at high amperages or grinding nearby, this cover ensures that the cardboard drum beneath remains untouched by hot metal and sparks. It is a simple, slip-on solution that provides immediate peace of mind.

Meeting the 35-Foot Rule

Every professional welder knows the importance of the "35-foot rule" for hot work. Combustibles within this radius need to be shielded. Moving heavy bulk drums out of this zone isn't always practical for production efficiency. The K3274-1 allows you to keep your wire feeding setup where it needs to be while staying fully compliant with OSHA and NFPA standards. It effectively transforms a combustible cardboard drum into a shielded, safe piece of shop equipment.

Practical and Long-Lasting

Lincoln Electric understands that shop accessories need to be tough. This cover isn't a flimsy sheet; it's a robust protector designed for daily use. It is easy to wipe clean and folds away compactly when not in use. Additionally, it helps keep shop dust and grinding grit out of your wire supply, ensuring your wire feeds smoothly and your welds stay clean. Don't let a stray spark shut down your line—equip your drums with the K3274-1 and keep the arc on.
