Blind Spades & Spacers

Spades and Ring Spacers are basically the same as Spectacle Blinds, except that both are not attached to each other. Spades and Spacers can be applied in systems where maintenance is often not necessary, or in applications with large pipe sizes. To prevent unnecessary weight to a flange connections, Spade & Spacers may be preferred over the larger and much heavier spec blind, maintenance on a pipe system can be a reason to temporarily replace a Ring Spacer for a Spade.
