KP3936-1 - Lincoln Viking PAPR Metal Mesh Spark Screen

Extend the Life of Your PAPR Filters

Welders know that safety equipment is an investment, and protecting that investment is key to keeping costs down. The Lincoln Electric KP3936-1 Spark Screen is a must-have accessory for anyone using a VIKING™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator. This metal mesh screen is designed to sit at the very front of your filtration system, acting as a shield against the hot sparks and spatter that are inevitable in welding and grinding operations. Without a spark screen, hot embers can be drawn directly into your blower unit, potentially burning holes in your pre-filter or expensive HEPA filter.

Genuine Lincoln Electric Quality

When it comes to respiratory protection, fit and function are non-negotiable. The KP3936-1 is a genuine OEM part from Lincoln Electric, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your VIKING PAPR. The fine metal mesh is durable and heat-resistant, capable of extinguishing sparks instantly. This prevents fire hazards within the blower unit and ensures that the air reaching your breathing zone is filtered through intact, undamaged media. It is a simple, lightweight addition that provides peace of mind during long shifts under the hood.

Cost-Effective Preventative Maintenance

Replacing a HEPA filter due to spark damage is an expensive annoyance that can be easily avoided. By installing the KP3936-1 Spark Screen, you significantly extend the lifespan of your primary filters. This is especially important for welders working with flux-cored wires, stick welding, or extensive grinding, where the volume of hot airborne debris is high. The screen captures large particles and neutralizes thermal threats, allowing the pre-filter and HEPA filter to focus on fine particulate matter.

Easy to Install and Replace

Maintenance of your PAPR should be quick so you can get back to work. The spark screen slides easily into place within the filter assembly. It is a disposable item that should be checked regularly; however, its metal construction offers good durability. Keep a few on hand to ensure your PAPR is always ready for the toughest jobs. At Welders Supply, we recommend this spark screen as a standard addition to every Lincoln PAPR setup for maximum safety and efficiency.
