 3M visor holder for safety helmet: custom facial protection

Manufacturer code: 82520-10000

The visor holder designed by 3M is an effective solution to transform a safety helmet into a complete facial protection device. Compatible with safety helmets, this support allows easy addition of a visor suited to the needs of the workstation. Whether for protection against splashes, impacts, or particles, this visor holder provides a stable and secure base. It is sold without a visor or helmet, allowing full customization of the configuration according to the requirements of each professional environment.

This visor holder is easy to assemble with all 3M visors for custom facial protection. Note that the visor and helmet are not included.

Several visors available:

• Steel mesh visor (YV96M)
• Welder’s visor in green polycarbonate (IR 3) (YV96R3)
• Welder’s visor in green polycarbonate (IR 5) (YV96R5)
• Clear polycarbonate visor (YV96)

Its design does not interfere with the use of hearing protection shells installed on the helmet. Indeed, the visor holder does not obstruct the slots intended for installing hearing protection shells. Moreover, its two-position system locks the screen so that it stays raised above the head when the user does not need it.

This visor holder features a quick-change system without snap buttons, straps, or cams, allowing easy replacement of the visor. Users can, therefore, choose from a wide range of materials, sizes, shapes, and tints, depending on the specific requirements of their tasks.

This visor holder meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2010 and CSA Z94.3-07 (R2014) standards for impact protection.

Please note that every user must wear safety glasses under the facial piece; otherwise the CSA standard is not met.
