ZetexPlus PlumberPad Newtex 1800°F Heat Pad

Description

Product Overview

The Newtex ZetexPlus PlumberPad is a high‑temperature protective pad engineered for demanding automotive and welding applications. Constructed from 100% matte fiberglass infused with vermiculite, the pad provides inorganic, lead‑free, asbestos‑free resistance to extreme heat. Its slim 0.06‑inch profile (12 × 12 inches) fits into confined workspaces while delivering continuous protection up to 1800°F and intermittent resistance to 2000°F. The pad weighs only 5 oz, making it lightweight yet durable. Brass grommets are pre‑installed for quick hanging on walls, workbenches, or tool racks.

Usage

Designed for professional plumbers, welders, and DIY enthusiasts, the PlumberPad excels in environments where sparks, flames, or hot tools are present. Use it as a resting surface for blow torches, soldering irons, and welding helmets, or as a protective barrier when cutting pipe in tight quarters. Its heat‑resistant surface also serves well in automotive repair bays, metal fabrication shops, and home improvement projects where fire safety is paramount.
