The Chicago Protective Apparel Arc Flash Kit AG40-JP combines a jacket and pants ensemble designed to provide 40-calorie ATPV protection for workers facing arc flash hazards up to 40 cal/cm2. This HRC 4 Master Series set is described as lightweight for its class, using inherently fire-resistant materials to help reduce fatigue during extended jobs while maintaining reliable protection. The jacket and over-pants work together to offer upper- and lower-body coverage, with waist-adjustment features on the pants to help achieve a secure fit as you move. The kit also includes head and face protection, with a hard hat and arc flash overhood specified in the listed components, along with essential PPE items such as safety glasses and hearing protection, all stored in a dedicated gear bag for easy transport between worksites.
Key construction and features cited with the source data emphasize compliance with NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506, aligning with flame-resistant clothing requirements for electrical work. The assembly is intended to be worn over regular flame-resistant clothing when needed, and is designed to support longer-duration wear by balancing protection with mobility. The set is completed by including compatible accessories—gloves of multiple sizes, leather protectors, a glove bag, safety glasses, ear protection, and a gear bag—to address the full arc-flash protection workflow from head to hand, though each item should be selected to match specific task requirements and voltage considerations.
Practical considerations include the product’s tan color and a packaging approach that lists each unit as an individual package, with a case quantity of 1. The description notes a potential extended lead time, and the standard accessories are listed as optional add-ons to tailor protection to the job, particularly the glove system and bag for storage. When selecting this kit, verify sizing and ensure compatibility with any existing FR clothing and local safety program requirements for NFPA 70E/ASTM F1506 adherence.
