OVERVIEW

Restore Comfort and Stability to Your Hood

Your welding helmet is your most important tool, but it's only as good as the headgear holding it in place. If your Fibre-Metal P2HN hood is slipping, sliding, or digging into your scalp, it's time to upgrade to the Fibre-Metal 3RW Ratchet Headgear. Designed to replace worn-out or broken suspensions, this headgear brings back the "like-new" feel to your trusty lid, ensuring you can focus on the puddle rather than constantly adjusting your helmet.

Why Choose the Ratchet System?
Unlike snap-lock adjustments that force you to take your helmet off to resize, the 3RW features a smooth, heavy-duty ratchet knob at the back. You can tighten or loosen the fit instantly—even while wearing heavy welding gloves. This is a game-changer when you are moving between different positions or if you wear a welding cap or beanie underneath and need to adjust for the extra layer.

All-Day Comfort
The 3RW isn't just about staying on your head; it's about how it feels while it's there. Fibre-Metal's exclusive "free-floating" arms balance the weight of the hood, preventing the front-heavy drag that causes neck strain by the end of a shift. The deep-offset pliable headband conforms to the shape of your head, eliminating those nagging pressure headaches. Whether you are working overhead or in a tight confined space, this suspension keeps your view steady and your neck happy.

Easy Installation
Don't worry about complicated repairs. The 3RW is designed to snap directly into your P2HN series shell. You can swap out your old, sweat-soaked, or broken gear in under a minute and get back to burning rod. It’s the most cost-effective way to extend the life of your favorite helmet.

FAQ

Generally, the Pipeliner uses the 1CR ratchet headgear or a rubber headband. The 3RW is specifically designed for the P2HN and Superglas series caps. While some welders modify their helmets, the 3RW is not the direct OEM replacement for the Pipeliner.

If you have a Fibre-Metal helmet with the model number starting with P2HN (often found molded inside the shell), this is the correct replacement. It fits the standard square mounting blocks found on Tigerhood and Superglas models.

Yes, the 3RW assembly typically includes the standard foam or smooth plastic sweatband integrated into the front of the headband for comfort.

The 'RW' designation stands for Ratchet Headgear, allowing for knob adjustment. The 'C' or other designations often refer to simple pin-lock or free-floating non-ratchet versions. The 3RW is the premium ratchet upgrade.

Yes, the 3RW features an overhead strap with multiple snap-hole adjustments, allowing you to set the 'crown' height. This determines how low the helmet sits on your head and aligns your eyes with the lens.

Fibre-Metal designs their ratchets for industrial use. They are robust and resistant to stripping, though like all moving plastic parts, they may eventually wear out with heavy daily use and grit exposure.

The suspension arms have mounting clips that snap over the mounting blocks inside the helmet shell. Simply pry the old ones off and snap the new ones on until they click securely.

As a consumable accessory, it is typically covered against manufacturing defects upon arrival. Honeywell Fibre-Metal ensures quality control for all replacement parts.
