Optrel 5011.180 Universal Hard Hat Adapter

Product Description

The OPTREL 5011.180 is a universal hard hat adapter designed to mount Optrel welding helmets or Clearmaxx grinding helmets to a compatible hard hat. The adapter provides a secure mechanical connection between the helmet and hard hat shell, keeping both hands free during welding or grinding operations. Weighing 0.75 pounds, the unit is lightweight enough to avoid adding significant burden to existing head protection setups. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized tooling. This accessory is suited for welders, fabricators, and grinding operators who work in environments that require hard hat compliance alongside face and eye protection.

The 5011.180 is intended for use in industrial, construction, and fabrication environments where ANSI-compliant head protection must be worn simultaneously with a welding or grinding helmet. It mounts to standard hard hats and allows the Optrel helmet to pivot up and out of the way when not in use, supporting workflow efficiency in multi-task environments. Note that this adapter is not compatible with full-brim style hard hats.
