E-Z Purge Slip Blinds

For line purging applications, past practice has been to use a slip blind and number ofspacers sandwiched between the blind and the gapped flange. While this procedurecan effectively be used to create a purging area, a number of problems exist which canlead to unsafe practices and/or damage to equipment.

USA Industries’ new E-Z Purge blinds can help eliminate all of those problems. OurPurge Blinds are easily identifiable and can be made to any specifications requested.The current standard we use is a 1/2” thick 516 Gr70 slip blind with a 1/4” deep channelmilled at either 3/4”, 1”, or 1 1/2” widths depending on the blind size.The ratio of gasket area versus purge area is approximately 50% to allow for propersealing force distribution.Custom configurations available to suit your specific purge flow requirements.• Any Flange size & rating• Unique handle identifies it as a Purge Blind• Painted flat black• Color coded Handle• Stamped with Size & Rating• Q/A & Q/C — Manufactured under our strict Quality Assurance Program• In-Stock orders shipped same day• Available in Ring Type Joint

• Used to block one side of your flange whileallowing access to Vent or Purge the other side

• Useful if there is not a valve on your Piping atthat location
