Our safety paddle blinds are not designed to be used in high temperature or pressure applications. They are to be used for temporary blocking on non-energized systems only. As an additional safety feature, all of our safety blinds will be marked with ''Not Rated For Pressure''.
A common mistake occurs when a wrong sized line blind is used to block a line. Typically, a smaller sized blind will accidentally be used with a larger flange. This could result in a "bad" seal with the gasket which will result in leakage. We corrected this problem by adding an additional cutout to match the diameter and location of the flange bolt hole. This alignment hole will ensure that the correct spade blind is used every time.
