OATEY 31400 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 31400 flame protector handle a MAPP (propylene) torch, or is it propane only?
Both. The 31400 flame cloth is rated for use with propane and max power propylene gas torches, and the Zoltek Pyron fiber withstands temperatures up to 2,500 degrees F. That covers the usual plumbing torch kit for sweating copper in a wall or joist bay.
2) How do you hold a soldering heat shield in place when you are working one-handed in a stud bay?
The 31400 pad has brass eyelets sewn in so it hangs off a stud or a wall fastener instead of needing a free hand or a helper. Hook it on the eyelets behind the joint, then solder.
3) Is a 9 x 12 inch flame cloth big enough to protect framing while soldering copper?
The 31400 cloth measures 9 x 12 inches, which covers a single joint area against sparks and direct flame on studs, joists, walls or floors. For a run of joints or a wider sweep of exposed framing, plan on repositioning the pad between joints or using more than one.
4) Can maintenance techs use this soldering blanket on finished walls and floors, not just bare framing?
It is made to shield studs, walls, floors and other surfaces from sparks and open flame while soldering, so it works behind a joint in an occupied unit as well as in open framing. Hang it on the brass eyelets or lay it over the surface you are protecting.
5) What is the Oatey part number and UPC for the bagged 9 x 12 flame protector?
Order it as Oatey 31400, UPC 038753314006. It ships bagged as a single cloth.
6) Is this flame pad light enough to keep in a service van or tool bag?
Yes. The 31400 weighs 0.2 pounds and takes up about 0.017 cubic feet bagged, so it lives in a plumber's bag or torch kit without taking real space.
