PVC-84-100 - 4-1/2 x 5-1/4 Clear Polycarbonate Safety Plate

Keep Your Vision Sharp with the 4-1/2" x 5-1/4" Clear Cover Lens

Every welder knows that a clear view of the puddle is the key to a quality bead. The PVC-84-100 Clear Cover Lens is your first line of defense against the harsh reality of the welding arc. Designed to fit standard "big window" welding hoods (4-1/2" x 5-1/4"), this replacement plate is the unsung hero that keeps your expensive auto-darkening filter or gold lens safe from the constant barrage of sparks, spatter, and heat. We all know that once your main lens gets pitted or scratched, your work suffers—and so does your wallet. By keeping a fresh polycarbonate cover plate in front, you ensure that your gear lasts longer and your welds stay consistent.

Made from tough, impact-resistant polycarbonate, this lens is built to take a beating so your eyes don't have to. Unlike old-school glass plates that can shatter if you drop your hood, this plastic lens absorbs impact and resists cracking. It acts as a sacrificial shield; when the spatter builds up and things start getting cloudy, you simply pop it out and toss in a new one. It’s a small investment that saves you from having to replace a distinctively more expensive ADF cartridge down the road. Whether you are burning 7018 rod, running hot flux-core wire, or TIG welding stainless, this lens stays clear enough to let you see the finest details of the joint.

Installation is a breeze. It slides right into the retaining frame of most standard large-view helmets, held in place by your hood's spring or clip system. It’s lightweight, so it won't weigh your head down during those long shifts under the hood. Don't let a hazy, scratched-up view ruin your weld or strain your eyes. Keep a stack of these PVC-84-100 lenses in your toolbox so you are always ready to swap out a dirty plate for a crystal-clear view. It’s the simplest maintenance task you can do to improve your welding experience instantly.
