Kasa Industries 0386-0561 Reusable Heat Shield 8x12 in

Product Description

The KASA INDUSTRIES 0386-0561 is a reusable heat shield designed to protect surrounding materials during torch work and soldering operations. Measuring 8 inches by 12 inches, this shield provides a physical barrier between an open flame and adjacent surfaces such as wood framing, insulation, and drywall. It is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians who need reliable flame protection on the job without the repeated cost of disposable pads. The reusable construction makes it a practical addition to a service kit for professionals performing frequent soldering or brazing work.

This heat shield is suited for residential and light commercial applications where torch work is performed in confined or combustible framing environments. Typical use cases include sweating copper pipe joints near wood studs or joists and brazing refrigerant line fittings in tight mechanical chases. The 8-inch by 12-inch surface area covers standard stud bays and similar framing cavities. It is compatible with common torch setups including Turbo Torch and similar air-acetylene or propane torch systems used in plumbing and HVAC service work.

Key Features

• Reusable construction reduces job cost compared to single-use alternatives
• 8 inches by 12 inches surface area fits standard framing bays and tight mechanical spaces
• Provides a protective barrier between open flame and combustible surfaces during soldering and brazing
• Lightweight and portable for inclusion in a standard service bag or tool kit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reusable heat shield for use with propane, MAP, and air-acetylene torch systems in plumbing, HVAC, and pipefitting applications.

Installation Notes

Position the heat shield firmly against the surface to be protected before igniting the torch. Plumbers and HVAC technicians should follow local fire codes and applicable sections of the International Fuel Gas Code when performing open-flame work near combustible construction materials. Inspect the shield before each use for damage, warping, or degradation that could reduce its protective effectiveness. Allow the shield to cool completely before handling or storing after use.
