Guardian Fall Protection 15068or Orange Flange Protector

Product Description

The GUARDIAN FALL PROTECTION 15068or is an orange flange protector designed to guard pipe flanges during work-at-height operations and general industrial service. Constructed from HDPE sheet material, this protector measures 13.5 inches in diameter and is rated for a load capacity of 150 pounds. It is used to cover exposed flange faces, protecting workers and equipment from sharp edges and preventing accidental contact with open flange connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically specify this type of protector on active job sites where fall protection protocols and flange isolation are required simultaneously.

This flange protector is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where 6-inch and 8-inch nominal pipe flanges are present. It is commonly installed on raised flanges in mechanical rooms, process piping runs, and construction sites where workers are operating in proximity to open piping connections. The orange color provides high visibility, making it easy to identify covered or isolated flange points during an inspection walkthrough.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pipefitter, plumber, or safety technician as part of a lockout/tagout or flange isolation procedure. Ensure the flange face is clean and free of debris before placing the protector. Verify the protector is seated flush against the flange face and secured according to site safety protocols.
