Installations

Installing a RAMCO® Safety Shield is both simple and rapid, usually requiring less than a minute. Whether a shield is placed over a flange, valve or fitting, the method of installation is the same.

The complete line of RAMCO® Shields, produced from either thermoplastics or metals, are wraparounds. The difference between the two groups is the method of securing them on the pipe connection or valve. Fabric shields are fastened securely by tie-down cords; whereas, metal shields are held firmly in place by metal screws or bands.

All shields are shipped directly from the RAMCO® plant ready for installation. Each package of shields includes installation instructions for quick reference. Thermoplastic shields require no tools for installation, and metal shields need only the use of a Phillips screwdriver.

Installing Thermoplastic Safety Shields

Incorporated within each RAMCO® thermoplastic shield is a velcro fastener that holds the shield in place over a flange, pipe connection or valve allowing installation of the shield by a single worker in less than a minute.

Installation steps are as follows:

These unique safety devices installed over flanges, pipe fittings and valves contribute to a safe work environment. In the event of a leak, the indicating patch in each thermoplastic shield (except the "See-Thru" Shields, of course) will turn color signaling an alert. These shields will contain and deflect temporarily the escaping hazardous, toxic chemical, and thereby, mitigate the effects of a potentially devastating sprayout.
