Honeywell 4199IRUV5BP North by Honeywell 4199IRUV5BP Faceshield Vis Face Shield Review

The Honeywell 4199IRUV5BP is an ANSI Z87.1-compliant welding face shield designed for welding, torch cutting, and arc operations. Built with optical-grade lens material, it provides full-face coverage from brow to below the chin — protecting the face, cheeks, and jaw from hazards that safety glasses and goggles cannot address alone. Face shield Only (No Headgear).

Construction and Materials

The lens window is constructed from optical-grade hard-coated material for impact resistance and surface durability. The included headgear assembly fits most adult head sizes and supports standalone or over-hard-hat deployment. Highly Efficient. The lens window extends coverage across the full frontal face profile with side geometry providing lateral protection. Construction meets ANSI Z87.1 basic-impact requirements for general industrial use.

Compliance and Ratings

Rated to ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA 1910.133 for eye and face protection in welding and thermal cutting operations. ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 governs occupational eye and face protective devices; OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 mandates its use in workplaces with documented eye and face hazards. Additional ANSI Z49.1 compliance is required for welding; the lens shade must match the welding process and amperage per that standard. Easy to Use.

Performance

In welding environments, the shield protects against optical radiation, spatter, and slag. Confirm the shade number matches ANSI Z49.1 requirements for the specific welding process and amperage in use. Package dimensions : 2.0 inches (H) x 12.0 inches (L) x 10.0 inches (W). Maintaining lens cleanliness and replacing lenses when scratched preserves visibility quality for precision work.

Strengths

• Hard-coated lens provides ANSI Z87.1-rated impact protection for welding applications
• Optical-grade lens maintains clarity without distortion at working distances
• Complete assembly includes headgear — no separate accessory purchase required
• Adjustable headgear fits most adult head sizes
• Full-face coverage from brow to chin protects areas beyond eyewear reach
• Full-face coverage from brow to chin provides protection not achievable with safety glasses alone

Limitations

• Face shields do not seal the eye surround — safety glasses or welding helmets must be worn underneath in chemical splash and grinding environments per OSHA 1910.133
• Lens scratching from abrasive contact degrades clarity over time; replacement lenses should be sourced when transmission quality decreases
• One-size-fits-most headgear may not accommodate all head sizes or hard hat platforms; verify compatibility before crew-scale procurement

Recommended Use Cases

MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-core welding; torch cutting and brazing; plasma cutting; foundry operations with molten metal splash. Appropriate for any OSHA-regulated workplace where face and eye hazard assessments document a risk requiring face shield-level protection.

Verdict

The Honeywell 4199IRUV5BP face shield delivers ANSI Z87.1-compliant protection for welding applications in a hard-coated construction suited for industrial environments. Buyers should verify headgear compatibility and application requirements before crew-scale procurement.
