3M 7100175569 Hard Hat Vented 6-point Ratchet Type I

Product Description

The 3M 7100175569 is a Type I, vented hard hat with a 6-point ratchet suspension, constructed from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) shell material. Designed for job site head protection in construction, industrial, and utilities environments, this hard hat features a slotted shell for accessory attachment and a ratchet-style suspension for on-the-fly fit adjustment without removing the hat. The hi-viz lime green shell color improves worker visibility in low-contrast or high-traffic work areas. Licensed HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general construction crews rely on this style for all-day wear comfort and consistent ANSI-compliant protection.

This hard hat suits residential and commercial construction sites, electrical and mechanical rooms, utility work, and any environment requiring ANSI Type I head protection. The slotted shell accepts compatible visors, ear muffs, and other accessories commonly used in conjunction with hard hats on multi-hazard job sites. The universal fit suspension accommodates a wide range of head sizes, making it practical for contractors supplying PPE to varying crews.

Installation Notes

Hard hats should be inspected before each use for cracks, dents, or suspension damage and replaced if any defects are found. Ratchet suspension adjustment should be set so the hat sits level on the head with no more than one inch above the brow. Do not modify, drill, or paint the shell, as this can compromise structural integrity and void compliance ratings. Installation of accessories should follow the accessory manufacturer's guidance to ensure continued ANSI compliance.
