Chicago Protective Apparel 708-8-KVG High Heat Hand Pad

Product Description

The CHICAGO PROTECTIVE APPAREL 708-8-KVG is a high heat hand pad constructed from a para aramid-glass blend, designed to protect workers handling hot components, hot piping, or heated equipment during service and maintenance operations. Measuring 8 inches in length and 8 inches in width, this ambidextrous pad fits either hand and accommodates most adult hand sizes without requiring a separate left or right version. The para aramid-glass blend construction provides thermal resistance suited for high-heat contact tasks. A fiberglass lining adds an additional layer of protection against conducted heat. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance pros commonly use hand pads like this when moving or positioning hot components during service calls.

This hand pad is appropriate for residential and commercial service environments where brief contact with hot surfaces is unavoidable. Typical applications include handling heated flue pipe sections, hot manifolds, heat exchangers, and other high-temperature components during installation or repair. The one-size-fits-most sizing and ambidextrous design make it a practical single-unit addition to a service bag without the need to stock left and right variants.

Installation Notes

This hand pad is a personal protective equipment item and does not require mechanical installation. Technicians should inspect the pad before each use for signs of wear, scorching, or degradation that could reduce thermal protection. Always follow applicable OSHA and employer safety guidelines for PPE selection and use when working near high-temperature components. Do not use this pad as a substitute for full glove coverage in sustained high-heat or open-flame environments.
