OVERVIEW

Stay Protected with the Fibre-Metal Shade 5 Visor

When you are working with an oxy-fuel torch, clear vision and reliable protection are your most valuable tools. The Fibre-Metal 4178IRUV5 Face Shield Window is built to keep you safe while you cut, braze, or solder. Unlike clear shields that only stop debris, this Shade 5 green visor is specifically designed to filter out the intense glare and harmful radiation (UV and IR) that comes from gas welding flames. It allows you to see your puddle and cut line clearly without straining your eyes or risking long-term damage.

We know that comfort matters during a long shift. That’s why this shield is made from injection-molded propionate. This material is lightweight yet incredibly tough, offering excellent impact resistance against flying sparks and hot slag. It doesn't warp easily under heat and provides better optical clarity than cheaper plastic alternatives, meaning you get a distortion-free view of your work. The formed shape wraps around your face, providing extended peripheral protection and ensuring that sparks don't sneak in from the sides.

This replacement window is designed to fit the gear you likely already own. It snaps perfectly into Fibre-Metal F400 and F500 series headgear crowns. Swapping out an old, pitted shield for this fresh one takes just seconds, so you can get back to work immediately. Whether you are in a heavy fabrication shop, an automotive garage, or doing field repairs, having a fresh Shade 5 visor ensures you are meeting safety standards and working at your best.

Don't compromise on your vision or safety. The Fibre-Metal 4178IRUV5 gives you the professional-grade protection you need for all your heating and cutting tasks. It stands up to the rigors of the shop floor, resists scratching better than standard acetate, and keeps your eyes safe from the bright intensity of the torch.
