Xtrweld LENS45G-SH12 Glass Filter Plate Shade 12

Product Description

The XTRWELD LENS45G-SH12 is a shade 12 glass filter plate designed for use in welding helmets and welding shields. It provides optical protection against the intense arc radiation produced during heavy-duty welding processes. The lens measures 4.5 x 5.25 inches and is 0.25 inches thick, making it a standard-format passive filter suitable for a wide range of welding headgear frames. At 0.4 pounds, it is a lightweight individual lens unit. Welders, fabricators, and industrial safety personnel install and replace these lenses as part of routine PPE maintenance to maintain proper eye and face protection compliance.

Shade 12 filter plates are appropriate for high-amperage arc welding applications including shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) at higher current ranges and similar processes where a darker shade is required to safely observe the weld pool. This lens is sold individually and is suited for professional welding operations in fabrication shops, construction sites, and industrial maintenance environments where glass filter plates are preferred over polycarbonate alternatives for their scratch resistance and optical clarity.

Installation Notes

Glass filter plate replacement is performed by welders or safety personnel as part of PPE maintenance. Power down and de-energize all welding equipment before inspecting or replacing helmet lenses. The lens should be seated fully and secured by the helmet retainer or frame clips before resuming welding operations. Handle glass lenses carefully to avoid chipping edges, which can compromise the seal within the retainer frame.
