Plumbers Thermal Protection Pads & Mats

Thermapad Plumbers Pads have been manufactured in the UK by the GMS Company for the past 14 years, using high quality materials meeting the highest Health and Safety standards.

THERMAPAD is manufactured to protect from flame damage and scorching areas surrounding soldering operation. THERMAPAD will withstand the heat from a blowtorch under normal conditions. As the temperature required to solder a capillary joint is half the melting point of the outer fabric (600°C) only by subjecting the pad to temperatures above normal plumbing conditions would premature surface breakdown take place. Even after surface fabric damage occurs the infill will prevent any thermal transfer (the infil withstands temperatures of 1260°C).

The life of the pad is determined by the heat intensity and concentration on a given area, therefore, should the pad surface start to glow at the point at which the flame makes contact, we suggest repositioning the mat allowing unheated areas to be used.
