Vue Gard®
The VUE-GARD® is a transparent safety shield fabricated for use on flanges, valves,
threaded connections, pumps, flow meters or special applications. This “See-Thru” type
safety shield is designed to protect down to the outside diameter of the pipe and prevent
dangerous lateral sprayouts. It is designed to prevent injury to personnel or damage to
adjoining equipment in the event of a sprayout or leak at a joint or connection.
The VUE-GARD® Safety Shield permits visual inspections of the connections, valves,
etc., on which they are installed.
1.1 Specially designed Orange Teflon-coated fiberglass and a clear ECTFE film are the
preferred materials.
1.2 The VUE-GARD® Shield shall be constructed of orange teflon-coated fiberglass fabric
on each side, attached to a clear ECTFE film in the center.
No holes through the ECTFE or any reinforced surface of the shield are permitted.
The VUE-GARD® Safety Shield shall be of adequate width to extend beyond the flange
bolts and tie down to the pipe on either side of the flange face.
1.5 When subjected to flame, the material of construction should not produce any toxic or
corrosive fumes or by-products. The VUE-GARD® Safety Shield and tie-down cords
should be self-extinguishing, non-flammable and non-combustible.
The VUE-DRAIN GARD® is a transparent safety shield fabricated for use on flanges, valves, threaded
connections, pumps, flow meters or special applications. This “See-Thru” type safety shield is designed to
protect down to the top of the flange bolts. It is designed to prevent injury to personnel or damage to
adjoining equipment in the event of a sprayout or leak at a joint or connection.
The VUE- DRAIN GARD® Safety Shield permits visual inspections of the connections, valves, etc., on
which they are installed.
1.1 Specially designed Orange Teflon-coated fiberglass and a clear ECTFE film are the preferred materials with
a TEFLON threaded drain nipple used to help control the flow of media.
1.2 The VUE-DRAIN GARD® Shield shall be constructed of orange teflon-coated fiberglass fabric on each
side, attached to a clear ECTFE film in the center.
Tie-down cords to be made of 100% teflon-coated fiberglass, orange in color, with a diameter no smaller
than 0.125 inch.
Teflon drain that is 3/8”(12mm) OD, 5/16”(8mm) ID, 7/8”(20mm) threads exposed.
The VUE-GARD® Safety Shield shall be of adequate width to extend beyond the flange bolts and tie down
to the pipe on either side of the flange face.
1.3 The Safety Shield shall withstand temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and pressures up to 1000psi (69 bar)
and not be reactive to UV exposure. The “see-thru” window shall not “haze” due to weathering or UV
exposure.
The Safety Shield shall immediately indicate the presence of a system leak through visual inspection and/or
leaked media flowing through the drain. An indicating pH patch can be installed in a Teflon sleeve
internally in the shield for color changing visual indication.
1.4 When subjected to flame, the material of construction should not produce any toxic or corrosive fumes or
by-products. The VUE-DRAIN GARD® Safety Shield and tie-down cords should be self-extinguishing,
non-flammable and non-combustible.

The VUE-DRAIN GARD® Safety Shield shall be of adequate width to extend beyond the flange and tie
down above the bolts allowing them to be exposed while still providing lateral spray out protection.
1.3 The Safety Shield shall withstand temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and pressures up to 1000psi (69 bar)
and not be reactive to UV exposure. The “see-thru” window shall not “haze” due to weathering or UV
