The PIP 9150-5236V AR/FR Ultralight Ventilated Hood is a specialized hood designed for arc flash protection with a lightweight, breathable build. It is part of PIP’s Ultralight 40 Cal/cm2 line, leveraging a Hybrid Fabric Technology intended to combine durability with reduced weight, helping wearers stay cooler during extended use. The outer shell uses a DuPont Protera blend, comprising NOMEX, KEVLAR, Modacrylic, and antistatic fibers, while the inner layer employs Westex Ultrasoft Interlock Knit for a comfortable next-to-skin feel. The hood is engineered to support airflow, with a described ventilation system and compact protective case housing the vent and power pack, contributing to the garment’s overall wearability in active environments.
Documentation indicates the garment meets or references standards relevant to arc-rated safety, including NFPA 70E and applicable ASTM and OSHA considerations. The unit weighs about 1 lb (16 oz), and the design specifies a battery life of 6+ usable hours with an airflow of 35 cfm, underscoring its role in balancing protection with ongoing operational accessibility. These technical elements matter because they influence how the hood performs during a shift—balancing protective rating, breathability, and practical endurance.
Typical usage involves environments requiring arc-rated suppression and PPE compliance while maintaining mobility and ventilation for extended wear. The hood is categorized as a standalone unit with a package size of Each and a case quantity of 1. For compatibility and maintenance considerations, refer to the included spec sheet linked in the Downloads section for additional installation guidance and care recommendations. The navy color and PIP branding identify the product within its series, while the stated hazard category details (ATPV and related ratings) reflect its intended protection level within documented safety frameworks.
