Steiner 538-6X6 Portable Welding Screen Kit 14 Mil Vinyl

Product Description

The STEINER 538-6X6 is a portable welding screen kit designed to create a temporary protective barrier in welding work areas. Constructed from 14 mil thick transparent vinyl, the screen allows ambient visibility while blocking weld flash, UV light scatter, and spatter from reaching bystanders or adjacent workers. The kit measures 6 feet wide by 6 feet high and is suited for use in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and on job sites where a fixed welding enclosure is not practical. Welders, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians typically deploy this unit to comply with arc flash and bystander protection requirements.

This screen kit is appropriate for both residential shop settings and light commercial or industrial environments where portable arc containment is required. The transparent vinyl construction makes it suitable for areas where line-of-sight supervision must be maintained during welding operations. The portable format allows the screen to be repositioned quickly between work areas without tools. It is commonly used alongside MIG, TIG, and stick welding processes where weld flash protection for nearby personnel is a concern.

Key Features

• 14 mil thick transparent vinyl provides weld flash and UV scatter protection while maintaining visibility
• 6-foot width by 6-foot height covers a practical work zone perimeter
• Portable kit design allows fast repositioning without permanent mounting
• Transparent material supports line-of-sight supervision during active welding
• Weighs 19.5 pounds for a balance of durability and portability

Compatibility

Designed as a portable welding screen solution for general-purpose arc welding applications in shop, maintenance, and field environments where temporary bystander protection is required.

Installation Notes

Setup and repositioning is typically performed by the welding technician or a helper before arc operations begin. Ensure the screen is fully deployed and stable before initiating any welding process. Follow applicable ANSI Z49.1 safety-in-welding guidelines and local shop safety requirements when positioning protective screens. Do not use damaged or torn vinyl panels, as compromised material will not provide adequate weld flash protection.
