Tubing Guards

Safeguard pipe, tubing, and other round equipment from damage. Black and yellow stripes create a visual alert to draw attention to equipment and obstructions. Designed to cushion during impact, these foam guards have a medium hardness rating to protect round surfaces. Made of polyurethane, they have good abrasion resistance. All of these guards are flexible so they can bend along a gradual curve. They have an adhesive backing, which allows for easy installation. They're nonmarking and can be used outdoors.

Wraparound Bumpers

Wrap these bumpers around tubing, equipment legs, and levers to prevent dents during shipment and after they're installed.

Screw Closure

For Round Shapes

For Square Shapes

These bumpers clamp into place for a more secure hold than hook-and-loop closure bumpers.

Multipurpose SBR Rubber—These bumpers absorb impact well enough for most applications. However, they're not for use outdoors and break down when exposed to oil and harsh chemicals.

Hardness Rating—The harder the bumper, the better it withstands impact and abrasion over time. The softer the bumper, the more cushioning it provides for objects made of glass, soft metal, and other fragile materials. Bumpers with a medium rating offer a balance of impact resistance and cushioning.
