A heat shield assembly for use in soldering, brazing, or welding applications, and more specifically in plumbing, refrigeration, or air conditioning systems where it is desirable to shield a temperature sensitive component from the heat source used to perform a soldering, brazing, or welding operation. An additional use for the heat shield assembly is to prevent bursts of steam or water vapor, emanating from a water soaked rag that has been wrapped around a temperature sensitive component in order to cool the component, from extinguishing the heating torch used to perform the soldering, brazing or welding operation. The heat shield assembly has a plurality of segments interconnected in a manner to allow each segment to move independently of its adjacent segment.
