The new Shield-Lok™ boiler tube shield clamping system is the only system solely designed for boiler tube shield attachment!  Shield-Lok™ clamps feature a heavy duty guard comprised of 310 and 301 stainless steels to provide greater resistance to heat, corrosion, and abrasion.  Clamps are applied with the SL4000™ power tool allowing quick and easy installation.  Over 1300 lbs. of clamping force applied by the SL4000™ power tool ensures that shields stay on tight and last!

Faster Installation Times!   Quick, easy power tool attachment.  Eliminate the lengthy set-up of welding equipment.  Installation can be completed within minutes allowing for quick repairs during forced outages.  No welding means you can attach shields post hydro!

Reduce Labor Costs!  Increase the efficiency of your labor force.  Faster installs allows for more work to get done within your plant.  No specialized certification is needed to install Shield-Lok™ clamps, anyone can install!  Replacing failing shields year after year is a major cost.  Eliminate shield replacement costs by keeping your shields on tight and lasting the first time!

Reduce Tube Shield Failures!  The Shield- Lok™ system pulls clamps down with over 1300 lbs. of clamping force, ensuring your shields are as tight as possible to the tube.  Tighter shields mean better thermal transfer between tube and shield.  No more shield failures from overheated shields and cracked welds!

Increase Safety!  Clamping eliminates the known risks of welding- hazardous gases, fumes, fire, burns, shock, explosion… just to name a few!  The calibrated SL4000™ power tool ensures consistent and repeatable tight clamps!
