Fibre-metal 990GY Classic Welding Helmet Wide Vision Gray

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 990GY is a classic thermoplastic welding helmet designed for professional welders who need reliable arc flash protection and a wide, unobstructed field of view. It features 24 square inches of viewing area with a built-in Flash Barrier, giving welders a clear sightline to the work zone without sacrificing protection. The molded-in gray color is part of the thermoplastic shell construction, meaning the finish will not chip, peel, or fade over time. The smooth, seamless outer shell is designed to deflect sparks and weld splatter, reducing the risk of burn-through to the wearer. Licensed welders and fabricators working in shop, field, or industrial environments are the primary users.

The 990GY suits professional and skilled trade welders across MIG, stick, and flux-core applications where a passive, wide-vision helmet is preferred. Its lightweight thermoplastic construction makes it appropriate for extended wear during production welding, structural fabrication, and maintenance welding tasks. The wide-vision lens pack provides a broader view compared to standard-format helmets, which is particularly useful when working in tight joints or tracking a long bead.

Key Features

• 24 square inches of unobstructed viewing area for wide-field visibility during welding
• Integrated Flash Barrier provides arc flash protection at the lens perimeter
• Thermoplastic shell construction resists heat, sparks, and weld splatter
• Molded-in gray color eliminates chipping, peeling, and fading over the helmet lifespan
• Smooth, seamless shell profile deflects sparks and reduces burn-through risk
• Designed for comfort and extended wear during production and maintenance welding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use wide-vision passive welding helmet compatible with standard Fibre-Metal headgear and replacement lens components in the Classic helmet family.

Installation Notes

Fitting and headgear adjustment should be performed by the welder prior to use to ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Inspect the shell, lens, and Flash Barrier for cracks or damage before each use and replace any damaged components before welding. Follow your facility safety program and applicable ANSI Z87.1 and AWS F3.1 standards for welding helmet selection and use. Do not modify the shell or lens assembly in any way that could compromise arc flash protection.
