238497 - Miller MP-10 Passive Shade 10 Black Welding Helmet

Reliable Passive Protection with Modular Flexibility

The Miller MP-10 Passive Welding Helmet (SKU: 238497) represents a foundational piece of personal protective equipment designed for professional and industrial welding applications. Engineered with a focus on optical clarity and structural durability, this helmet features a fixed Passive Shade 10 lens. Unlike auto-darkening filters, the passive mineral glass or polycarbonate lens provides constant, fail-safe protection against ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, making it an ideal choice for specific amperage ranges and continuous welding processes where variable shading is not required.

Constructed from a high-impact nylon thermoplastic, the MP-10 shell is built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while maintaining an exceptionally low weight of just 18 ounces (510 g). This lightweight architecture significantly reduces torque on the neck and cervical spine, mitigating operator fatigue during extended periods of use. The shell design accommodates a large 4-inch by 4-inch (16 sq. in.) viewing area, offering superior visibility of the weld puddle and joint configuration compared to standard 2x4 passive hoods.

A key technical advantage of the MP-10 series is its modularity. While shipped with a passive lens assembly, the helmet is engineered to accept industry-standard filter plates and is fully upgradeable to Miller’s advanced Auto-Darkening Lens technology. This forward-compatibility ensures that the equipment can evolve with the welder's needs or changing application requirements. The included ratchet-style headgear features extensive adjustability, including knob-driven size control and top-strap positioning, ensuring a secure and ergonomic fit compliant with ANSI Z87.1-2003 and CSA Z94.3 safety standards.
