The SchuF Group designs and manufactures a fast, easy-to-use and safety-conscious Line Blind Valve range. They are often refered to as spectacle blinds, figure of eights, or blinding systems.

How SchuF Fetterolf Line Blind Valves work

A Line Blind Valve is permanently installed into a pipeline. The valve´s internal cam-mechanism allows to change the plate from open to closed position within a minute. As soon as the pipeline is drained the cam-mechanism can be opened by turning the screw (or hand wheel), now the spectacle plate can be turned and positioned and finally the cam-mechanism can be closed again by closing the hand wheel. For a more specific description please download our brochure.
