Replacement Welding Helmet Lens – 4.5" x 5.25" (Select Shade Strength From Options Above)

Fixed-shade replacement welding lens for protection against ultraviolet and infrared radiation during welding and cutting.
These replacement welding lenses are precision ground, edged, and shaded for optical clarity and proper fit. The industry-standard 4.5" x 5.25" size makes them a replacement option for many compatible passive welding helmets and welding shields that accept this lens size.

Choose from fixed shade strengths #4 through #14 based on the welding or cutting process, amperage, and application.

Important: Always verify the appropriate shade for your specific welding or cutting process before use. Start with a shade that is too dark to clearly see the weld zone, then move to a lighter shade that provides sufficient visibility without going below the recommended minimum shade.

Selecting the Proper Lens Shade

Shade selection depends on the welding or cutting process, amperage, arc intensity, and application. As a general selection method, begin with a shade that is too dark to clearly see the weld zone. Then move to a lighter shade until the weld zone can be seen clearly without going below the recommended minimum shade for the process.

Never select a lighter shade solely for improved visibility if it is below the minimum recommended shade for the application.
