Protection at its best
Welding fumes are removed directly from the contaminant source, which means high-class protection not only for the welder, but to everyone around them.
Welding outperformed
Safety means excellent welding properties and reduced spatter.
Happy to hold
Excellent ergonomics makes welding with the Flexlite GF a pleasure, and results in increased work quality and efficiency.
Grip on safety – an efficient fume extraction MIG torch series
The Flexlite GF product series consists of several MIG/MAG welding torches with a fume extraction function. The efficient vacuum system extracts the welding fumes directly from the torch nozzle without disturbing the shielding gas flow, thus providing a safer and cleaner working environment for the welder as well as for others sharing the working environment.
The Flexlite GF fume extraction torch is available in water- and gas-cooled versions. All Flexlite GF fume extraction torches models offer Flexlite features for user comfort, welding efficiency, and extended consumable part life.
The Flexlite GF provides a safer working environment. The product series has been tested against the new ISO 21904-3 standard. This ensures a standardized way to prove the capture efficiency of the torch. The standardized welding torch is a safe and reliable tool for a welder’s day-to-day work.
Excellent ergonomics and usability are distinguishing features of all Flexlite products. The detachable pistol grip handle and a well-balanced torch shape make the welding work smoother, meaning the torch is a delight to hold. The detachable pistol grip handle also makes the welding position more natural and ergonomic.
Fume-extraction torches are the only solution that removes welding fumes right at the source. As well as maximum protection, the Flexlite GF also results in premium welding work. With the help of a high-performance torch, the power source capacity is used efficiently, and spatters are minimized.
Adjustable vacuum flow
The airflow bypass valve allows quick and easy adjustment of the extraction airflow during welding. The valve is ergonomically placed at the gun handle.

Welding fume extraction efficiently reduces occupational health risks
Concerns over the risks of welder exposure to harmful welding fumes have initiated EU and national-level actions. The revised version of ISO standard 21904-3 defines the method for measuring the capture efficiency of welding fume extraction guns. Kemppi has conducted tests according to the new standard with Flexlite GF, a new fume-extracting MIG welding gun with convincing results.

Safety that keeps up with welders' challenges and changing risks
Welding safety has become increasingly demanding. The hazards at the arc remain constant, but modern working conditions mean exposure can accumulate over longer shifts and in tighter indoor spaces. As a result, welding PPE needs to be treated as both protection for the welder and proof of compliance. At Kemppi, welding safety PPE is designed and validated in practice through clear requirements, welder-led feedback, and verified compliance with EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, CE marking processes, and relevant EN standards.
