The faceseal plays a fundamental role in maintaining hygiene conditions and operator protection. A damaged, perforated, or torn faceseal compromises the integrity of the protection provided by the G5-01 helmet and must be replaced immediately. For maximum safety and comfort, inspecting all helmet components before each use is strongly recommended. In case of hygiene concerns, the faceseal can be removed for additional cleaning or replaced.

This component integrates seamlessly with the G5-01 welding helmet and maintains the effectiveness of the other protective elements. To access refurbishment, repairs, and other replacement parts, use the Speedglas warranty and service program available at 3m.com/SGwarranty. Availability of this part is limited to special orders from China, with an estimated production lead time of 14 days.

Advantages

Why maintaining the faceseal in good condition matters

• Protection against contamination: the faceseal prevents hot metal spatter, welding fumes, and fine particles from entering between the helmet and the operator's face, reducing the risk of irritation and injuries during arc, MIG/MAG, or TIG welding operations.

• Comfort during long welding sessions: a faceseal in good condition ensures comfortable contact between the helmet and the face, reducing pressure and discomfort during extended work sessions in the workshop or on the job site.

• Workplace hygiene: in environments where multiple operators share the same helmet, regular replacement of the faceseal ensures adequate hygiene conditions for each user.

• Maintaining compliance: a welding helmet whose components are in good condition maintains protection performance in accordance with manufacturer specifications, ensuring equipment reliability in regulated environments.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Is this faceseal compatible with other Speedglas helmets?

The 46-0099-28 faceseal is designed exclusively for the 3M Speedglas G5-01 high-performance welding helmet. It cannot be used with other Speedglas models (9100, Adflo series, etc.) as the dimensions and mounting system are specific to the G5 series. Always ensure you are ordering the faceseal specifically designed for the helmet model in use.

How do I know when the faceseal needs to be replaced?

Inspect the faceseal before each welding session. Replace it if you notice holes, cuts, tears, deformation, or hygiene concerns. A damaged component can no longer provide the protection intended by the G5-01 helmet and must be replaced immediately to maintain operator safety during welding operations.

What is the lead time for this replacement part?

The G5-01 faceseal (46-0099-28) is available on special order with an estimated production lead time of 14 days from China. It is therefore advisable to keep a spare in your workshop to avoid production interruptions caused by a defective component.
