E-Z Purge Slip Blinds

For line purging applications, past practice has been to use a slip blind and number of

spacers sandwiched between the blind and the gapped flange. While this procedure

can effectively be used to create a purging area, a number of problems exist which can

lead to unsafe practices and/or damage to equipment.

USA Industries’ new E-Z Purge blinds can help eliminate all of those problems. Our

Purge Blinds are easily identifiable and can be made to any specifications requested.

The current standard we use is a 1/2” thick 516 Gr70 slip blind with a 1/4” deep channel

milled at either 3/4”, 1”, or 1 1/2” widths depending on the blind size.

The ratio of gasket area versus purge area is approximately 50% to allow for proper

sealing force distribution.

Custom configurations available to suit your specific purge flow requirements.

• Any Flange size & rating

• Unique handle identifies it as a Purge Blind

• Painted flat black

• Color coded Handle

• Stamped with Size & Rating

• Q/A & Q/C — Manufactured under our strict Quality Assurance Program


• Available in Ring Type Joint

• Used to block one side of your flange while

allowing access to Vent or Purge the other side

• Useful if there is not a valve on your Piping at

that location

See Paddle Blind Chart for size reference — Page 3P

Can be manufactured to meet

customer’s specifications.

suitability to test pressure. Verify the line ID & Plug Range match. Most

importantly — Never stand or pass in front of any test plug or other

enclosure while test is in progress. If plug discharges during a test,
