216336 - Miller 216336 Replacement Foam Headgear Cushion

Genuine Miller Replacement Comfort for Gen I Headgear

The Miller Comfort Cushion (216336) is an essential replacement component designed specifically for welders utilizing Miller's Generation I welding helmet headgear. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, operator comfort is not merely a luxury but a safety necessity. Prolonged exposure to the weight and pressure of a welding helmet can lead to fatigue, headaches, and reduced concentration. This OEM replacement cushion restores the original comfort levels of your equipment, ensuring that your workforce can maintain productivity and focus throughout their shifts.

Engineered by Miller Electric, this cushion is manufactured from high-density foam rubber. This material choice provides an optimal balance between softness for comfort and resilience for durability. Unlike generic foam pads that may compress permanently after short use, the Miller 216336 retains its cushioning properties over time. It is designed to fit the rear section of the headgear, distributing the helmet's weight more evenly across the back of the head and reducing pressure points that commonly cause discomfort.

Compatibility and Fitment

It is crucial to verify equipment compatibility before purchasing replacement parts. The Miller 216336 Comfort Cushion is exclusively designed for Miller Generation I Headgear (Part #770246). It is not compatible with Generation II, III, or the newer Gen IV headgear systems. If your welding helmet is equipped with the classic Gen I suspension system, this is the exact direct-fit part required to maintain it. Using OEM parts guarantees that the fitment is secure, preventing the cushion from slipping or detaching during active welding operations.

Maintenance and Hygiene

Over time, headgear cushions absorb sweat, oils, and workshop dust, eventually breaking down or becoming unhygienic. Regular replacement of the comfort cushion is recommended as part of a standard PPE maintenance schedule. A fresh cushion not only feels better but also ensures a snugger fit, preventing the helmet from shifting when the operator nods to lower the hood. At Josef Gas, we recommend inspecting headgear components monthly and replacing foam cushions whenever signs of wear, tearing, or permanent compression are visible.
