3MH46-0700-63 - Speedglas G5-01 Replacement Flip-Up Visor Frame

Product Overview

The 3M Speedglas Outer Visor Frame (Part Number 46-0700-63) is a critical replacement component engineered exclusively for the 3M Speedglas Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01 series. This frame serves as the structural housing for the flip-up welding filter assembly, allowing the welder to transition seamlessly between welding and grinding modes. Manufactured to 3M's exacting standards, this part ensures that the helmet retains its original mechanical integrity, balance, and safety certifications.

Technical Specifications

Constructed from high-grade, heat-resistant polymers, the outer visor frame is designed to endure the thermal and physical stresses typical of heavy industrial welding applications. It provides the mounting interface for the Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) and connects directly to the helmet's head suspension and air duct system. The frame includes the necessary latching mechanisms to secure the visor in both the raised (grinding) and lowered (welding) positions.

Compatibility and Installation

This unit is strictly compatible with the G5-01 system and is not interchangeable with the 9100 FX or other Speedglas models. Installation is straightforward, requiring the removal of the existing damaged frame and re-seating of the ADF and protection plates. Regular inspection of the visor frame is recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule for PAPR and heavy-duty welding systems to ensure optimal protection and performance.
