280986 - Miller Weld-Mask 2 Replacement Anti-Fog Inside Lens

Product Overview

The Miller 280986 is a specialized Anti-Fog Inside Lens Cover designed specifically for the Miller Weld-Mask 2 auto-darkening goggles. As a critical maintenance component, this lens serves a dual purpose: it protects the delicate Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) from physical damage such as scratches or pitting that can occur from the inside, and it manages visibility through advanced anti-fog technology. Because the Weld-Mask 2 is designed to fit tightly against the face to block out ambient light and fumes, heat and moisture build-up are common challenges. This lens utilizes a chemically bonded anti-fog coating to prevent condensation from obscuring the welder's view, ensuring safety and precision.

This product is supplied as a single unit (Package of 1). It is manufactured to Miller Electric's strict optical standards, ensuring that the introduction of a protective layer does not distort the view or reduce the clarity rating of the welding optics. The lens is made from high-impact industrial polymer materials that offer durability while remaining lightweight.

Compatibility and Specifications

It is vital to note that the 280986 lens is compatible exclusively with the Weld-Mask 2. It will not fit the original Miller Weld-Mask (model 267370), which utilizes a different part number (272137) for its anti-fog film. Mismatched lenses can compromise the safety seal and optical clarity of the equipment. This inside lens installs behind the ADF, closest to the operator's eyes.

Regular inspection and replacement of the inside cover lens are recommended to maintain optimal performance. Over time, cleaning and general wear can degrade the anti-fog properties or introduce fine scratches that refract light and cause eye strain. Replacing the lens restores the 'like-new' viewing experience essential for high-quality TIG, MIG, and Stick welding applications in confined spaces.
