3M 7100097692 | Speedglas 04-0290-00 Welding Helmet Inside Protection Plate

Description

The 3M 7100097692 inside protection plate is a purpose built replacement plate for Speedglas welding helmets made to shield the primary lens from spatter, slag and particulate build up. Intended for use with the 3m speedglas 9000 family, this inside cover plate restores optical clarity when the original plate becomes deeply pitted or contaminated beyond cleaning. Manufactured to meet ANSI Z87.1-2010, the plate is simple to install and remove during routine maintenance and is recommended for machine operation and heavy infrastructure welding environments. Regular inspection and replacement of welding protection plates ensures the auto darkening lens maintains reliable performance and extends the service life of the Speedglas unit.

Product Features and Benefits

Direct fit for 9000 series helmets

Specifically dimensioned for 3M Speedglas 9000 helmets to ensure correct alignment and secure seating. This direct fit reduces installation time and maintains factory optical tolerances.
