110PWE - Fibre-Metal Pipeliner White Fiberglass Welding Hood 110PWE

Fibre-Metal Pipeliner 110PWE: The Industrial Standard for Pipe Welding

The Fibre-Metal Pipeliner 110PWE Welding Helmet is widely recognized across the industrial sector as the definitive headgear for pipe welding applications. Manufactured by Honeywell Fibre-Metal, this helmet is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of harsh welding environments where standard thermoplastics often fail. The shell is molded from a proprietary SuperGlas Plus™ fiberglass material, which offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and superior resistance to high heat, sparks, and heavy spatter. Unlike conventional plastic helmets, the fiberglass construction is self-extinguishing and impervious to moisture, ensuring the helmet maintains its structural integrity even in damp or extreme temperature conditions.

Designed specifically for the unique challenges of pipe fabrication, the 110PWE features a compact, aerodynamic shell design often referred to as the "Sugar Scoop." This streamlined profile allows welders to access tight clearances, restricted joints, and confined spaces that are inaccessible to bulkier auto-darkening helmets. The smooth surface of the helmet is engineered to deflect fumes and spatter, preventing material buildup and reducing the risk of burn-through during overhead welding operations. The reinforced crown and throat areas provide additional durability, resisting cracking and chipping when the helmet is inevitably dropped or struck in a busy industrial setting.

The 110PWE comes equipped with a fixed-front 2" x 4.25" viewing area, supplied standard with a Shade 10 polycarbonate passive lens. This configuration provides optical clarity and reliable protection without the complexity of electronics, making it a favorite for welders who prefer the consistency of passive filtration. The lens retention system is robust, ensuring the filter plate remains secure even during rigorous movement. For comfort and stability, the helmet includes the 1CP rubber headband. This suspension system uses a constant-fit design with a neoprene strap, allowing for frequent, easy adjustments and ensuring the helmet stays firmly in place as the welder moves around the pipe.

For professionals seeking a welding hood that prioritizes durability, access, and safety in high-heat environments, the Fibre-Metal Pipeliner 110PWE remains the superior choice. Its proven track record in the oil and gas, construction, and fabrication industries speaks to its reliability and performance.
