Westward 22RN89 Welding Blanket 8 ft 8 ft 28 oz/sq

Purpose and Fit

This ZORO SELECT welding blanket measures eight feet by eight feet and is built from black acrylic-coated fiberglass rated for medium-duty protection. It suits welders and fabricators who need a large, flat shield to guard floors, equipment or vertical surfaces from spatter and slag during MIG, TIG or stick work. The 28 oz/sq yd weight gives a balance of durability and handling that works for daily shop use.

Build and Mounting

The fiberglass substrate is 0.06 inches thick and carries FM Approved and NFPA 701 certifications for flame resistance up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Brass grommets sit on twenty-four-inch centres with two at each corner, providing eight attachment points total; each grommet hole measures four-fifths of an inch. This layout lets you hang the blanket from hooks, chains or a frame without tearing the edges.

Compatibility Checks

Verify that your workspace can accommodate an eight-by-eight-foot sheet and that the mounting points you plan to use accept four-fifths-inch brass grommets on twenty-four-inch centres. Confirm that medium-duty protection meets the spatter volume and heat exposure of your specific process. Note the California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals before purchasing.
