It can be used to replace a damaged or worn frame to return the equipment to service.

3M purchase code: 7100214395, model: 46-0700-63

The external visor frame works together with the hinge mechanism and pivot ring to ensure smooth, controlled visor movement. Sold individually, this frame mounts directly to the G5-01 helmet and immediately restores its protective and ergonomic functions.

Manufactured in Sweden by 3M to Speedglas quality standards, this frame is designed to withstand the rigors of intensive welding environments. The frame dimensions (13.3 in × 8.2 in × 2.3 in) match exactly the G5-01 specifications, ensuring a precise fit without modification.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the external visor frame needs replacement?

Signs indicating necessary replacement include: visible cracks in the frame material, deformation preventing the visor from staying in position, damaged hinge mechanism attachment points, or visor movement that has become unstable or uncontrolled. Do not delay replacing a structurally compromised frame, as this endangers the integrity of full face protection.

Is this frame compatible with all Speedglas helmets?

No. The 46-0700-63 frame is specifically designed for the 3M Speedglas G5-01 High Performance welding helmet. It is not compatible with other Speedglas helmet series such as the 9100 series, Adflo helmets or older models. Always check your helmet model number and 3M specifications before ordering a replacement part.

Does the frame include the transparent visor or hinge mechanism?

No. The 46-0700-63 frame is sold alone, without the transparent visor or hinge mechanism. If these components are also damaged, they must be ordered separately. The hinge mechanism for the G5-01 is available under reference R46-0400-56 (bag of 2 mechanisms). Consult the Speedglas warranty program to identify all components needed for a complete restoration.
