EZ Vent-Purge® Paddle Blind
Combining the Benefits of our EZ Vent & EZ Purge Slip Blinds into One Tool!
The EZ Vent-Purge slip blind combines the benefits of EZ Vent® and EZ Purge® into one tool! Purge the line safely during "Hot Work" using the Purge side, and then bleed and control pressure or fluids using the Vent side. This combo saves time and money by integrating these two useful blinds into a single tool.
EZ VENT-PURGE PRODUCT USES
- Multiple Ports can be added, venting one or both sides
- Safer, quicker and easier than traditional practices
FOR EZ VENT SIDE:
- Blocks flow on one side while allowing access to relieve or purge the other side.
- Enhances downstream safety in case of a leaking valve upstream.
- Easily verifies zero energy in the line and vents off leaked pressure for hydrotesting.
FOR EZ PURGE SIDE:
- Creates a "standoff" area at the flange site for line purging.
- Seals evenly, avoiding damage to the flange and gasket surfaces compared to outdated practices involving using makeshift spacers.
