3M Speedglas have been conducting extensive research into designing a welding helmet that is constructed to be reliable and extremely adaptable to a welder’s needs and situation. The result of their research is the G5-01 Welding Helmet. Please note that this product comes with just the welding helmet, but no welding filter and head & neck protector.

The G5-01 clear protective visor dimensions are 104 x 170mm, offering a massive range of viewing ability, plus its curves provide excellent views up, down and superficially. The model’s slim profile and ergonomic design make the G5-01 more lightweight and easier to squeeze into the tightest spaces whilst also retaining its comfort. Mould the helmet to suit your individual needs with 3M branded additional accessories such as different types of protection covers.

Built for heavy-duty, high-amperage welding and grinding, this innovative series of welding helmets are constructed to offer welders more control over their airflow direction. The design of the helmet allows the airflow to be directed to your face, your visor or a combination of both, whatever the welder prefers. All adjustments made to the airflow are possible whilst wearing the helmet. The helmet’s flip-up function allows an effortless switch between welding and grinding applications whilst also staying protected due to the powered air respiratory system.

Speedglas G5-01 Adflo Parts FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and looking after spare parts for a heavy-duty powered air welding helmet.

How do I find the right spare for my heavy-duty welding helmet?

Check the model marking on the helmet and the filter, then compare it with the parts list in the user manual. Heavy-duty helmets are often sold in several versions, with different filters, head protectors and air ducts, so what fits one may not fit another.

If an old part is still in place, note any number printed on it and compare it side by side with the replacement. Where you are unsure, our team can help you match the part to the helmet before you order.

What are the different head and neck protectors, and which should I choose?

The head and neck protector covers the areas around the helmet shell and stops arc light, spatter and fume reaching your skin. They come in fabric, flame-retardant fabric and leather, in different sizes.

Leather tends to last longest in heavy spatter and overhead welding, while fabric is lighter and cooler. Pick the one that matches the heat and spatter at your workplace, and make sure the size gives full coverage without pulling on the helmet.

How do I choose between sweatband types?

Towelling and fleece-type bands absorb sweat well and feel soft but wear quickly and need replacing often. Leather bands last longer and are easier to wipe clean, but they feel firmer and can be warmer.

Whichever you prefer, replace the band when it is hard, stained or no longer comfortable. A fresh band also keeps sweat from running into the headband mechanism and the helmet interior.

How do I know when the outer protection plate needs changing?

Change it when your view is reduced by scratches, spatter marks or pitting, or when it is cracked or warped by heat. A damaged plate also scatters light, which tires your eyes.

Heat-resistant and scratch-resistant plates last longer in tough conditions. Always fit the plate the way the manual shows and check that it seats flat so that no spatter can get behind it.
