Why Clear Nova 3 Lenses Matter in Abrasive Blasting
Clear, unobstructed vision during abrasive blasting allows operators to blast more accurately, work faster, and stay safer by reducing rework, operator fatigue, and costly downtime caused by scratched, fogged, or worn RPB Nova 3 lenses.
By using RPB Nova 3 tear-off and cassette lens systems, operators can restore clear visibility in seconds without removing gloves, keeping blasting operations moving and maximizing productivity throughout the shift.
We carry all of your RPB Nova 3 lenses – Inner, outer, and tear-offs. All made by RPB and all made specifically for the Nova 3 blast helmet. Use the drop-down menu to pick what you need. If there is something else you need that you don’t see, contact us.

How Nova 3 Lenses Stack
From your eyes outward:
| Layer | RPB part # | Pack | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inner lens (clear) | NV3-722 | 10 | Sits just inside the helmet’s black seal. ANSI Z87.1 rated, and changed least often. | $49.96 |
| Inner lens (tinted) | NV3-722-T | 10 | Same as the clear inner lens, tinted for bright conditions. | $71.69 |
| Outer lens | NV3-724 | 50 | Snaps into the green face mask and protects the inner lens. It’s the main lens if you don’t run tear-offs. | $46.57 |
| Tear-off lens | NV3-725 | 50 | Goes in front of the outer lens, up to five at a time. Pull a tab to clear your view, even with gloves on. | $61.94 |
| Cassette lens system | NV3-745 | 20 | One outer lens with five tear-offs fused into a single unit. Snap it in, and dust can’t get between the layers. | $243.63 |
All of these Nova 3 lenses fit the RPB Nova 3 blast helmet.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what order do Nova 3 lenses go in?
Inner lens behind the seal, then the outer lens in the green face mask, then up to five tear-offs in front. A cassette replaces the outer lens and tear-offs in one piece.
Tear-offs or the cassette system?
Individual tear-offs cost less per layer. The cassette is faster to load and keeps dust out from between the layers.
How often should I change Nova 3 lenses?
Tear off a layer whenever your view gets pitted or coated. Replace the outer lens when it’s scratched through, and the inner lens only when it’s damaged or hazy.
Do Nova 3 lenses fit the Nova 2000?
No. These Nova 3 lenses fit the RPB Nova 3 only. For the Nova 2000, see our RPB Nova 2000 lenses.
