Mill-rose 31043 Torch Guard Heat Shield Blanket

Product Description

The MILL-ROSE 31043 is a torch guard heat shield blanket designed to protect surrounding surfaces from heat and flame during soldering and brazing operations. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of heat shield to guard combustible materials such as wood framing, insulation, and wall surfaces when working with an open torch in tight or confined spaces. The blanket acts as a thermal barrier between the torch flame and adjacent structures, helping to reduce the risk of accidental ignition and fire damage during copper pipe and fitting work.

This heat shield blanket is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where torch work is performed near framing, drywall, or other heat-sensitive building materials. It is a standard jobsite safety item for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters performing soldering or brazing tasks in walls, ceilings, and mechanical chases. The compact, lightweight design at 0.2 pounds makes it easy to carry and position during service calls and new construction installs alike.

Key Features

• Acts as a thermal barrier to protect combustible surfaces from open torch flame
• Designed for use during soldering and brazing operations on copper pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose heat shield for use in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC torch work applications where protection of adjacent combustible surfaces is required.

Installation Notes

Position the heat shield blanket between the torch flame and any combustible surface before beginning soldering or brazing. Ensure the blanket fully covers the area at risk from heat exposure and reposition as needed when working along a run of pipe. Follow all applicable local fire codes and IFGC guidelines when performing open-flame work inside a structure. Allow all surfaces and fittings to cool fully before removing the shield and inspecting the work area.
