Steiner 15A79 Glove Pad 7.5 in Aluminized Fiberglass

Product Description

The STEINER 15A79 is an aluminized fiberglass glove pad designed to protect the back of the hand from radiant heat during high-temperature welding, cutting, and foundry operations. At 7.5 inches in length, the pad slides over standard welding gloves to add a supplemental layer of heat-reflective coverage where direct flame exposure and spatter are greatest. The aluminized backing reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it, extending comfort and reducing heat fatigue during sustained torch or arc work. At 0.12 pounds, the pad adds minimal bulk to existing hand protection. It ships unlined and requires no break-in period.

This glove pad is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings wherever workers perform welding, brazing, cutting, or torch work. Typical applications include pipe welding for plumbing and HVAC installations, structural fabrication, and foundry or metal casting environments. The ambidextrous design accommodates either hand, making it a practical stock item for shops and service trucks that outfit multiple technicians.

Key Features

• Aluminized fiberglass back reflects radiant heat during welding and cutting operations
• 7.5-inch length provides coverage from wrist to finger base over existing gloves
• Ambidextrous fit works on either hand, reducing inventory complexity
• Unlined construction keeps overall weight at 0.12 pounds for minimal added bulk
• Universal size designed to layer over standard welding gloves

Compatibility

Designed as a universal-fit supplemental glove pad for use over standard welding and heat-resistant gloves in high-radiant-heat work environments.

Installation Notes

A licensed welder or qualified tradesperson should ensure all PPE, including this pad, meets the requirements of the applicable ANSI Z49.1 welding safety standard before use. Inspect the pad before each use for tears, worn aluminized coating, or fiberglass deterioration, and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use this pad as a primary hand protection device in place of a rated welding glove.
