The PIP 9150-52548 ARC Hood is a dedicated head and face protection solution designed for environments with arc flash hazards. The hood provides an ATPV-rated protection of 12.4 cal/cm² and is classified as PPE Category 2 (HRC 2), aligning with common electrical safety protocols for workers in electrical and utilities, petrochemical, gas and oil, mining, welding, and emergency services. The arc-rated shield incorporates UV and IR-absorbing lens technology, offering protection up to 12 cal/cm² with a replaceable lens, helping reduce exposure to radiant energy while allowing for clear visibility during operations.
The design includes a green-tinted window that features a permanent anti-fog inner coating, aiding visibility in demanding conditions. The lens is extended 3 inches from the face to accommodate respiratory protection and help minimize lens fogging, which can be critical for maintaining situational awareness and reducing the need for frequent adjustments on the job. The hood is ANSI Z87.1 compliant for eye and face protection and is supplied with a dielectric safety helmet and a hard hat adapter, enabling compatibility with standard headgear and reducing the need for separate mounting components.
This product is sold as a single unit (each) with a case quantity of 1. The included downloads reference a spec sheet for more detailed technical information, which can assist with selection, maintenance planning, and training considerations. When considering use, verify that the arc rating and PPE category align with the specific electrical tasks and incident energy estimates encountered on the job, and ensure compatibility with other PPE worn by the user, including respiratory protection that may influence lens clearance and fogging. The navy color and hood configuration are designed to fit into existing PPE ensembles used in the industries listed above.
