OVERVIEW

Reliable Shade 5 Replacement Lens for Cutting and Brazing

Upgrade or replace your welding helmet's passive filter with this Heat Treated Shade 5 Glass Lens. Designed for welders who prefer the traditional clarity of glass, this 4-1/2" x 5-1/4" plate delivers a crisp, distortion-free view of your work. Whether you are performing oxy-acetylene cutting, plasma cutting, or brazing copper pipes, a Shade 5 lens provides the necessary eye protection without making the work area too dark to see.

Glass lenses are favored by many seasoned fabricators because they don't scratch as easily as plastic when wiped down, and they handle the heat of the torch without warping. This lens is heat-treated to withstand the rigors of the shop environment. It fits perfectly into standard large-view fixed-shade helmets. Simply slide it into your retaining frame—sandwiched between clear cover plates—and you are ready to work.

Don't risk eye strain or arc flash by using damaged or incorrect shades. This replacement plate ensures you have the right level of protection for gas operations. It is an essential spare part for any shop utilizing oxy-fuel equipment. Keep your vision sharp and your eyes safe with this durable glass filter plate.
