OVERVIEW

Don't Burn Through Your Gear

We all know that welding sparks and spatter have a way of finding the most expensive piece of gear you're wearing and burning a hole right through it. Your PAPR breathing tube is your lifeline to clean air, and it's also one of the more vulnerable parts of your setup when you're in a tight spot or working overhead. The 3M Speedglas SG-15 Breathing Tube Cover is your insurance policy against burnt hoses.

Think of this cover as a flak jacket for your air supply. It is built tough to handle the heat and abuse of heavy-duty welding. If you are doing high-amperage MIG, flux-core, or gouging, the radiant heat and flying metal can degrade your breathing tube quickly. This high-temp cover slides right over your existing tube, taking the hit so your equipment doesn't have to.

It is a lot cheaper to replace this cover than it is to buy a brand-new breathing tube. Plus, it keeps your rig looking professional and well-maintained. It fits the standard Adflo tubes (SG-30, SG-40, SG-50) perfectly and doesn't stiffen up your movement. Slap one on and stop worrying about your hose melting while you're under the hood.
