Slide Blind

The HOT Tools Slide Blind is a patented, registered fitting which provides a faster, safer and ergonomic alternative to a traditional spectacle blind for the purposes of pipe maintenance and servicing applications in a variety of industrial plant settings. Unlike other pipe blind variants such as the spectacle blind, the HOT Tools Slide Blind requires only the removal of the studs on the interior of the blind and the loosening of the four exterior studs in order to be swiftly transitioned from “operation” to “blanked” configuration. When included as part of the initial installation of plant facilities, the need for pipe and gasket realignment during blanking operations is eliminated. Quick transitioning and maintained gasket placement result in significantly less product loss in the standing pipe during operation.

The handle design provides increased ease of operation and installation, and can also be used as a lifting point for a crane, specifically useful for safe installation on larger format blinding applications.

The HOT Tools Slide Blind can be custom manufactured to customer specifications, including stainless steel. All manufacturing information is printed on the handle of the slide blind. The HOT Tools Slide Blind is ABSA Approved and falls under ASME B16.48 Line Blind Standards.
