The Miller 260087 is a replacement helmet shell designed specifically for the Miller Classic Series line of welding helmets. This unit features the "Metalworks" graphic design and serves as a direct replacement for damaged or worn-out shells, allowing users to maintain the integrity and safety of their personal protective equipment without the expense of purchasing a completely new helmet system. It is important to note that this product SKU refers strictly to the plastic shell component; it does not include the auto-darkening lens assembly, the headgear suspension system, or front lens covers. These components must be transferred from the existing helmet or purchased separately.
This shell is engineered to exact factory specifications by Miller Electric, ensuring seamless compatibility with the internal components of the Classic Series (and select legacy Pro-Hobby Series) helmets. The shell provides the structural foundation for the welding hood, offering the necessary mounting points for the ratcheting headgear and the retention mechanism for the lens cartridge. By using a genuine OEM replacement part, safety officers and maintenance personnel can ensure that the helmet retains its original balance, weight distribution, and protective coverage area.
Constructed from high-impact durable thermoplastic, the 260087 shell is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial welding environments, including exposure to heat, spatter, and minor impacts. While the shell itself provides the physical barrier against sparks and debris, it relies on the correct installation of the appropriate safety lens to provide optical protection. This modular approach to helmet maintenance supports cost-efficiency in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) strategies, enabling the replacement of the most exposed component of the PPE assembly while retaining the high-value electronics found in the auto-darkening filter.
Swapping the shell is a straightforward process involving the removal of the headgear knobs and the lens retention frame from the old unit. Users simply transfer these components to the new 260087 shell. This part is ideal for situations where the original shell has been cracked, warped by excessive heat, or cosmetically damaged, restoring the helmet to a like-new condition.
