KP3496-1 - Lincoln Electric Statiflex Replacement Filter Cartridge KP3496-1

Breathe Easier in the Shop

Welding produces a lot of nasty stuff—smoke, soot, and microscopic metal particles that you definitely don't want in your lungs. If you are running a Lincoln Electric Statiflex unit to keep your station clear, the KP3496-1 Filter Cartridge is the heart of that system. This isn't just a piece of paper; it's a blend of paper and polyester designed to stand up to the rigors of a welding shop. The polyester adds strength, meaning the filter won't get soggy from humidity or collapse when the suction turns on, ensuring you get consistent airflow right at the arc where you need it.

We all know the drill: if the filter is clogged, the sucker doesn't suck. You end up with a hazy shop and black boogers at the end of the shift. Swapping out your old filter for a fresh KP3496-1 is one of the easiest ways to instantly improve your workspace air quality. This cartridge is designed to trap the fine particles from MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, keeping them out of your breathing zone. It fits perfectly into your Statiflex machine, so you don't have to fight to get it seated correctly.

This filter is a disposable unit, which means no messy cleaning or banging it against the trash can to try and get a few more days out of it. When the flow drops or the service light comes on, you just pull the old one out and slide this new one in. It’s a small investment that pays off in better health and a cleaner shop environment. Keep your Statiflex running like new and protect your lungs so you can keep burning rod for years to come.
