Vented blinds/paddles block flow on one side while allowing pressure relief on the other, enhancing safety for downstream work conditions.
American Thermowell vented blinds/paddles provide an economical solution, when a valve isn’t available near your work site. Vented blinds have multiple benefits including easy access to hydro-testing, purge entry point and line pressure release.
