Forney Industries 57055 Clear Plastic Welding Lens 10 Pack

Product Description

The Forney Industries 57055 is a clear plastic cover lens designed for use with welding helmets and face shields. Measuring 4.5 inches by 5.25 inches, this lens serves as an outer or inner cover to protect the filter lens from spatter, scratches, and debris during welding operations. Sold in a package of 10, it is a standard consumable item replaced regularly by welders, fabricators, and metalworking tradespeople. The clear plastic construction maintains visibility through the helmet while extending the service life of the more expensive filter lenses behind it.

This lens fits welding helmets and face shields requiring a 4.5 inch by 5.25 inch cover lens. It is appropriate for MIG, TIG, stick, and oxy-fuel welding environments. The 10-unit package quantity suits shop settings and field crews that replace cover lenses frequently. Welding supply rooms and tool cribs commonly stock this size as a routine consumable.

Installation Notes

Cover lenses are installed and replaced by the welder or a shop safety technician without the need for tools in most helmet designs. Ensure the helmet or face shield is clean and free of debris before seating the new lens. Follow the helmet manufacturer's instructions for proper lens retainer engagement. Replace cover lenses whenever visibility is compromised by pitting, spatter buildup, or scratching to maintain safe sightlines during work.
