Welding Browguard with 168 Visor
The Walter Surface Technologies BG1 browguard is supplied new with a 168 clear polycarbonate visor. It provides full face and eye protection against sparks, spatter, small particles and non-hazardous liquids. The wrap-around design fits comfortably over impact-resistant safety glasses for extended wear.
Grinding, Cutting and Machining Tasks
This protection suits operators in grinding, cutting, brazing and machining who need combined face and eye coverage. It is not intended for buyers who require a darker shade such as IR3 or IR5 for higher-intensity arcs. Workers needing protection against hazardous liquids should select alternative equipment.
ANSI Z87+ Compliance with 168 Visor
The assembly meets ANSI Z 87.1 standards and achieves Z87+ impact rating only when the 168 visor is fitted. Without that specific visor the higher impact classification does not apply. Verify the visor code before use to ensure the required protection level.

Questions about this item
What ANSI standard does the BG1 browguard meet when paired with the 168 visor?
The BG1 browguard meets ANSI Z87.1 and is rated Z87+ only when used with the 168 clear polycarbonate visor or a 02 visor.
What head size does the medium browguard fit?
The medium BG1 browguard features an adjustable ratchet headgear designed to fit a standard range of head circumferences for a secure, comfortable wrap-around fit.
How do you install the 168 visor onto the browguard?
Align the visor slots with the browguard pins, snap firmly until both sides click; the step often missed is verifying both pivots lock so the visor stays fixed when raised.
