What separates USA Industries blinds from the competition — built into every piece.
Why Our Blinds Are Different
We are the actual manufacturer, not just a reseller. Since 1982, using advanced CNC plasma and waterjet machines, each blind is crafted with engineered symmetry, clean edges, fresh paint (carbon steel), marked or stamped, and color-coded handles for easy flange rating identification. Also, our blind solutions are crafted from top-grade, American milled alloys, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and other specialized materials known for their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Moreover, unlike others who may claim this, USA Industries has the largest stock for immediate delivery and in-house production.
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.
NSF/ANSI 61 is the NSF standard that ensures any materials, coatings, or products that come into contact with drinking water do not leach harmful contaminants into the water at unsafe levels.
- Pipes & fittings (metal, plastic, concrete, etc.)
- Valves & gaskets
- Meters & water treatment devices
- Coatings, linings, sealants, solders
- Any materials that touch drinking water in distribution systems
- Leaching of lead, arsenic, mercury, and other heavy metals
- Leaching of organic contaminants (e.g., solvents, plasticizers)
- Other harmful chemicals that might migrate from material into water
- Required in most U.S. states and Canadian provinces for public water systems
- Certifies products are safe for use with potable (drinking) water
- Reduces liability and demonstrates regulatory compliance
