Measuring 9 inches by 12 inches and constructed from flame retardant fiberglass, it provides a durable, reusable barrier between the work zone and surrounding materials. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians reach for this shield whenever soldering copper pipe in close proximity to studs, joists, or finished surfaces where char or ignition is a real risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis heat shield is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where torch soldering is performed near combustible construction materials. Typical applications include soldering copper supply lines or refrigerant lines in wall cavities, floor assemblies, and tight mechanical spaces. Its compact 9-inch by 12-inch format fits easily behind standard framing members and in confined areas where a larger shield would be impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlame retardant fiberglass construction withstands direct torch exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9 inches by 12 inches profile fits behind standard framing members\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtects wood, drywall, and other combustible surfaces from flame and sparks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReusable design for repeated use across multiple jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a unit within a package quantity of 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose soldering heat shield for use with standard propane or MAPP torch setups in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the heat shield firmly against the combustible surface before applying torch flame, ensuring full coverage between the flame path and surrounding materials. Plumbers and HVAC technicians should follow local fire code requirements, including having a fire watch period after soldering is complete. Allow the shield to cool fully before handling or storing. Inspect the shield regularly and retire it if fiberglass integrity is visibly compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 x 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flame Retardant Fiberglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OATEY COMPANY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 97053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OATEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525488443698,"sku":"97053","price":117.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66696fc0062103b8050236bdf94259e6.jpg?v=1785475382","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oatey-company-97053-soldering-heat-shield-9x12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
