Jackson Safety 36157 Welding Blanket 8 Foot Vermiculite

Product Description

The JACKSON SAFETY 36157 is a vermiculite-coated welding blanket designed to protect surrounding surfaces, equipment, and personnel from weld spatter, sparks, and heat during hot work operations. Measuring 8 feet wide and 0.03 inches thick, this blanket provides a flexible, deployable heat shield that is lightweight at 1.5 pounds and easy to reposition between jobs. It is suited for use by welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance trades who need reliable spatter and spark containment on the job site or in the shop.

This welding blanket is used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings wherever hot work is performed near flammable materials, finished surfaces, or sensitive equipment. Typical applications include pipe welding, structural steel fabrication, HVAC duct work, and general maintenance welding in confined or occupied spaces. Its black vermiculite construction offers a durable, heat-resistant surface that holds up to repeated use in demanding field environments.

Key Features

• Vermiculite-coated construction provides heat and spatter resistance for active welding environments
• 8-foot width offers broad coverage for larger work areas and equipment protection
• Lightweight at 1.5 pounds for easy handling, transport, and repositioning
• 0.03-inch thickness keeps the blanket flexible and easy to drape around irregular surfaces
• Black color resists visible soiling and is suitable for continuous shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use welding blanket suitable for general hot work protection applications across fabrication, maintenance, and construction trades.

Installation Notes

Welding blankets are deployed by welders and qualified hot work personnel prior to initiating any arc, MIG, TIG, or oxy-fuel welding operation near protected surfaces. Inspect the blanket before each use for burns, tears, or coating loss that could reduce heat resistance. Position the blanket to fully cover the area requiring protection and secure edges to prevent displacement from weld spatter or airflow. Follow applicable site hot work permit procedures and OSHA 1910.252 guidelines when deploying welding blankets in occupied or restricted spaces.
