3M 7100010073 Speedglas Outside Protection Plate 100

Product Description

The 3M 7100010073 is an outside protection plate designed for use with the Speedglas 100 series welding helmet. It serves as a sacrificial outer lens cover, shielding the auto-darkening filter cartridge from weld spatter, arc flash, and debris. Rated for high-temperature welding environments, it acts as a first line of defense that can be swapped out quickly to maintain clear sightlines during work. Welding professionals install these covers as routine consumables to extend the service life of the primary filter lens. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10.

This protection plate is suited for shield metal arc welding, MIG, and TIG applications where spatter and heat exposure are constant concerns. It is a standard maintenance item in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and field welding operations. The high-temperature construction makes it appropriate for demanding weld processes that generate significant spatter or radiant heat. Technicians and welding professionals keep a supply on hand to swap covers between jobs or whenever visibility becomes compromised.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the equipment operator or a welding safety equipment technician. Power down or remove any battery-operated components of the helmet before servicing the lens assembly. Follow the helmet manufacturer's lens-replacement procedure to seat the cover plate securely before resuming welding operations. Inspect the cover plate before each use and replace it immediately if cracking, pitting, or significant spatter buildup reduces visibility.
