OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your Hood

Tired of constantly nodding your helmet up and down just to check a weld or grind a spot? The ArcOne FF-8-AK Flip Front Adapter Kit is the perfect solution to modernize your favorite old-school hood. This kit lets you install a flip-up lens holder onto your helmet, giving you the freedom to switch between welding and clear vision in a split second. It’s an essential upgrade for pipe welders and fabricators who need to inspect their work frequently without exposing their face to the shop environment.

Ready to Work

The kit comes ready to go with a Shade 8 lens already installed. While Shade 8 is great for lighter work or cutting, the standard 2" x 4.25" slot means you can easily swap it out for your preferred shade—whether that’s a dark Shade 10, 11, or even a gold lens. The flip mechanism is smooth and sturdy, holding the lens up securely when you need to grind or talk to a coworker, and snapping down reliably when it's time to strike an arc.

Easy Install

Breathing new life into your gear shouldn't be a hassle. This adapter kit includes all the screws and gaskets you need to mount it securely. Once installed, it creates a tight seal to keep out sparks and light. Whether you are customizing a chopped pipeliner or just adding functionality to a standard shop helmet, this flip front adapter gives you the versatility of a modern helmet with the reliability of your trusted gear.
