K1668-3 - Lincoln Electric 8-Inch Fume Extraction Hose with Magnetic Hood (16.4 ft)

Maximize Safety and Reach with the Lincoln K1668-3 Extraction Set

When you are deep in a weld, the last thing you want to worry about is breathing in hazardous fumes because your extractor arm won't reach the joint. The Lincoln Electric K1668-3 Hose and Hood Set is the problem-solver for welders who work on large assemblies, inside vessels, or around complex structures where a standard rigid arm just cuts it. This 16.4-foot (5-meter) extension gives you the freedom to move around your workpiece while keeping your air clean and your lungs protected.

We know that equipment in a welding shop takes a beating. Hoses get stepped on, dragged over sharp metal edges, and dropped. That is why Lincoln designed this hose with external steel rings. Instead of a flimsy internal wire that collapses under pressure, these heavy-duty outer rings act like armor. They prevent the hose from crushing, ensuring that your airflow never gets choked off in the middle of a bead. You can drag it over the floor without worrying about wearing a hole through the fabric immediately.

The real game-changer in this kit is the magnetic hood. If you have ever fought with a suction hood that keeps drooping or sliding away from the weld zone, you will appreciate this feature. The hood snaps securely onto any steel surface, letting you position the intake right next to the arc. Whether you are welding vertical-up on a structural column or flat in a tight corner, the magnet holds the hood in place so you can focus on your puddle, not your safety gear. It effectively captures smoke before it reaches your breathing zone.

This kit comes ready to work, including the 8-inch diameter hose, the magnetic hood, and the clamp you need to hook it up to your Mobiflex or Prism Mobile unit. It’s perfect for automotive repair, heavy fabrication, and shipbuilding where flexibility is key. Don't compromise on safety just because the weld is hard to reach—extend your range with the K1668-3.
