The 04-0270-03 is the outside cover to choose when you want an option other than the standard plates of the 9000 series. 3M presents it as a high-density plate on its portal and as a scratch-resistant plate in its catalogue. Fitted in front of the filter, this polycarbonate surface takes the everyday sparks and spatter. When workshop marks end up blurring your view of the weld, a new plate gives you back a clear window, and a filter still in good condition stays in service. The bag of 5 keeps plates at the workstation so maintenance is done with the right part, at the right time.

Features and benefits for the welder

• High-density, scratch-resistant version, distinct from the standard plates of the same family.
• Polycarbonate surface that takes sparks and spatter instead of the filter.
• View of the weld restored by a simple plate change while the filter stays in service.
• Bag of 5: a compact reserve to keep near the workstation or in the toolbox.
• Clear reference for the 9000 series and the 9002NC filter named in the 3M catalogue.

Applications and assembly compatibility

The 04-0270-03 fits outside the filter on Speedglas 9000 series helmets; the 3M catalogue mentions it notably with the 9002NC filter. The 9000 series shell (R04-0112-00NC) helps you recognise this assembly. The inside cover is chosen separately, according to the exact model of the fitted filter.

Fitting and checking 04-0270-03

Open the helmet front panel, remove the old plate and seat the 04-0270-03 where it belongs. Secure the panel, then check that the plate sits correctly in front of the filter.

Care and replacement

A clean soft cloth is enough to remove dust and smudges. If pits or scratches remain visible after cleaning, the plate has done its job. Check its edges as well: a plate that bears evenly all the way round stays stable in the helmet.

Safe use

Use this plate in a complete 9000 series helmet, with its welding filter providing protection against the arc. A cracked or distorted plate is replaced immediately.

FAQ: the 04-0270-03 part

How does it differ from the 04-0270-01 and 04-0270-04 plates?

Those two references are the standard 9000 series plates, sold in bags of 10 or 5. The 04-0270-03 is a separate version, described as high density by 3M and as scratch resistant in its catalogue.

Which helmets can I fit it on?

Speedglas 9000 series helmets. The 3M catalogue pairs it in particular with the 9002NC filter.

How many plates come in one bag?

The bag holds 5 outside covers, enough for several replacements on one helmet or to help out a co-worker.

When should the plate be replaced?

When a cloudy area, pits or scratches persist after gentle cleaning. There is no need to wait until it turns opaque: a clear plate makes the weld much easier to follow.

Should I order an inside cover at the same time?

It is a good idea to check its condition. It is chosen according to the filter: for a 9002NC, it is the 04-0280-00 shown in the suggestions.

Complementary suggestions

Under a 9000 helmet, the welder wears OTG eyewear (YAU0112) over prescription glasses and Endura goatskin and Kevlar gloves (G625). Classic earplugs (OA101), leather spats (VCSPL4) and an orange flame-resistant FR-Tech shirt (V130) complete the outfit. Before starting, adjust this equipment to your work clothing and inspect its condition while preparing the welding station.

On the same 9000 helmet, the standard (R04-0270-01) plate offers another option for the outside face of the filter. For the inside face, choose the inside (YS0280) cover, or the 9000V/F (R04-0290-00) version to match the installed filter. The 9100V (R06-0200-10) plate belongs to the 9100 series and is not suitable for this 9000 assembly. A protective bag (R06-0500-65) then keeps the helmet stored away from dirt.
