Honeywell P458SH11 Welding Filter Plate Shade 11 Gold

Product Description

The HONEYWELL P458SH11 is a shade 11 gold-coated welding filter plate designed for use with Fibre-Metal welding helmets and compatible filter plate frames. Measuring 4.5 x 5.25 inches, this filter plate provides optical protection against intense arc light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation during welding operations. The gold coating reflects infrared heat away from the welder's face while the shade 11 lens darkness is suited to medium-to-high amperage welding processes. At 0.2 pounds, the plate is lightweight and straightforward to install as a replacement filter in the field.

This filter plate is appropriate for professional welders and fabricators working in industrial, commercial, and job-site environments. Shade 11 is commonly specified for MIG and stick welding at mid-to-upper amperage ranges where greater arc brightness demands a darker filter. The 4.5 x 5.25 inch format is a standard Fibre-Metal filter plate dimension used across a range of passive welding helmets and goggles that accept this plate size. Licensed welding professionals and apprentices handling regular helmet maintenance will find this a direct drop-in replacement for worn or damaged filter plates.

Key Features

• Shade 11 darkness rated for medium-to-high amperage arc welding processes
• Gold coating reflects infrared heat to reduce radiant heat exposure at the face
• Standard 4.5 x 5.25 inch Fibre-Metal filter plate format
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds for minimal added helmet weight
• Provides ultraviolet and infrared optical protection during arc welding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement filter plate for Fibre-Metal welding helmets and passive lens frames that accept the standard 4.5 x 5.25 inch filter plate format.

Installation Notes

Filter plate replacement is a routine helmet maintenance task performed by the welder or safety technician. Before replacing, ensure the helmet is removed from service and the welding machine is powered down. Slide or snap the filter plate into the lens retainer frame per the helmet manufacturer's instructions, and confirm the plate is fully seated with no gaps at the edges before returning to service. Always verify the shade rating is appropriate for the welding process and amperage per ANSI Z87.1 and applicable workplace safety standards.
