PADDLE SPACER BLIND USES:
We offer a streamlined solution for pipe section closure or opening during maintenance with our Paddle Spacer Blind. Acting as shut-off devices, paddle blinds, or line blanks, effectively halt flow within a pipeline. Upon removal, paddle spacer blinds, or ring spacers, seamlessly occupy the piping system.
In specific scenarios, employing a spectacle blind may prove more advantageous and economical. These blinds are adaptable, rotating to serve as either a single blind or a ring spacer, aligning with your current requirements.
USA Industries NSF ANSI/CAN 61 certification applies exclusively to our stainless steel products.

Meters & water treatment devices
Coatings, linings, sealants, solders
Any materials that touch drinking water in distribution systems
