Product Overview
Genuine 3M Speedglas Inside Protection Plate, Factory Sealed 5-Pack for 9000 Series Helmets
Condition
New. The plates are still in the original 3M poly bag with the factory seal unbroken, and the pack has not been opened. The printed face reads "3M Speedglas - Speedglas Inside Protection Plate" with REF 04-0280-00/37135 and the secondary 3M number 70-0712-7288-7, and the quantity block shows 5 plates in the bag. Under the film the plates sit stacked and flat with a faint aqua cast where the light catches them. The bag itself carries the soft creasing you would expect from shelf storage, with the barcode 5 00 51131 37135 9, the codes 0117 and 10136, and "Made in U.S.A." all clearly readable. Laid on the PartsMine millimeter scale, the sealed bag overhangs the 170 mm ruler at both ends, running roughly 198 mm end to end.

Product Overview
This is the inner consumable plate for 3M Speedglas 9000 series welding helmets, sold as a sealed 5-pack under 3M part number 04-0280-00 (also printed as 04-0280-00/37135 and 70-0712-7288-7). The inside protection plate mounts behind the auto-darkening welding filter, on the side facing the welder, where it takes the abuse from spatter blowback, condensation, and the everyday scuffs of pulling a hood on and off. The back of the bag states the fitment plainly in three languages: fits 3M 9000XF and 9000XI, 9002X and 9002V. The package also carries the standard 3M welding warning that these are safety products for qualified persons trained in their use and maintenance. This is genuine 3M stock, not an aftermarket copy, and the bag is printed "Made in U.S.A." with the 3M St. Paul, MN 55144-1000 address.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Speedglas helmets does this plate fit?
The package states the fitment directly: 3M 9000XF and 9000XI, 9002X and 9002V. If your hood is a different Speedglas family, check your filter's own part list before ordering, since 3M uses different inner plate sizes across series.
How many plates come in the pack?
Five. The quantity block on the front of the bag shows 5 plates per package, and the bag is still sealed, so all five are present as packed by 3M.
Is this the inside plate or the outside cover lens?
Inside. The bag is printed "Speedglas Inside Protection Plate," which is the plate that sits behind the welding filter on the side facing your face. The outer cover plate is a separate 3M part number and is not included here.
Is this genuine 3M product?
Yes. It is the original 3M packaging, printed with the 3M and Speedglas marks, the St. Paul, MN 55144-1000 address, REF 04-0280-00/37135, and "Made in U.S.A." Nothing has been repackaged or relabeled on our end.
Why buy a single sealed pack here instead of a case lot from a big marketplace?
Because most people need one pack of inner plates, not a case of them. PartsMine sells the exact quantity you need, whether that is one pack for your own hood or a few for a crew, instead of forcing a bulk lot. Shipping is a flat $8, and free over $28, so a small consumable order lands well under the cost of a forced-quantity case. Same or next business day shipping from Idaho.
The inside plate is the part nobody thinks about until it is pitted and the whole hood suddenly feels wrong. Five sealed 3M spares turn that moment into a thirty second fix at the bench instead of a lost afternoon.
