Abstract: A heat shield for protecting a fuel injection tube of a turbine engine afterburner. The heat shield includes a base adapted for attachment to a duct member, the base having a first mounting surface, a first fastener hole, and a recess in the base. A housing encloses the fuel injection tube. The housing has an internal channel for receiving the fuel injection tube, a second mounting surface, a second fastener hole, and a tab protruding from the housing. The tab is sized and shaped for being received in the recess of the base. The housing may be secured to the base at a mounting position wherein the tab is received in the recess, the mounting surfaces are engaged, and the second fastener hole is positioned in registration with the first fastener hole whereby a fastener may be inserted to secure the housing to the base.
