Blind Specialist LLC is one of the leading manufacturers/suppliers of paddle blinds. In addition to conventional paddle blinds, we also manufacture standard and customized vented paddle blinds that are readily available in carbon steel for rental; or if a greater lead-time is allowed or different material grade required, custom options can easily be fabricated to client specification.

We manufacture our rental vented paddle blinds at a minimum of ¾” thickness allowing a ¼” NPT radial port machined 90 degrees in reference to our distinctive V-notched handle.

Rental options are:

• Mill-finish
• Dimetcote® coating for rust and weather resistance
• Color-coded & stamped by class rating for easy identification, with holes in each handle for lockout/tagout.

However, multiple variations exist for these types of blinds and we take pride in our abilities/qualifications to fabricate all custom types.

Vented Paddle Blinds have multiple uses, but their primary function is to allow users to block flow on one side of a blind while allowing pressure relief (zero energy) from the other side. This proven technology allows for much safer downstream work where your standard process valves may not be ideally located.  Vented Paddle Blinds have multiple beneficial uses and applications:

• Verifies the amount of line pressure.
• Relieves line pressure.
• Easy access for hydro-testing.
• Bleeds and drains lines.
• Entry point for purges.
• Testing point for hydrocarbons and other gases.
