3M 7100194537 Auto-darkening Welding Helmet Shade 5 8-13

Product Description

The 3M 7100194537 is an auto-darkening welding helmet designed for professional welders working across a range of welding processes. Built from polycarbonate, it offers a fixed-front window measuring 4.2 inches wide by 2.8 inches tall with an auto-darkening lens that covers shade 5 and shades 8 through 13. This range accommodates MIG, TIG, and stick welding applications. The black and gray polycarbonate shell provides impact resistance while keeping the overall design suited for extended wear in shop or field environments. It comes supplied with a breathing tube, storage bag, and supplied air valve.

This helmet is intended for use in industrial, fabrication, and construction welding environments where variable shade control is required. The auto-darkening lens eliminates the need to manually flip the lens between weld passes, which improves workflow and reduces eye strain during repetitive or multi-pass work. The fixed-front window style suits applications where a stable, secure lens position is preferred over a lift-front configuration. Suitable for professional welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and sheet metal fabricators.

Installation Notes

Fitting and adjustment should be performed by the welder prior to beginning work to ensure a secure head fit and proper lens positioning.

Inspect the lens and shell for cracks or damage before each use and remove the helmet from service if structural integrity is compromised.
