    Foam Tubing Guards

    Cushion exposed pipes, tubing, and other cylindrical surfaces to protect both the surfaces and the people who bump into them. These guards reduce the risk of damage from impacts. They can be cut to size.
    For Round Tubes
    Light Duty Polyethylene Foam—Best for occasional bumps or temporary protection, these guards are made from rigid, low-density foam. They soften impacts, but they’ll crack, compress, and lose their shape with repeated blows. An outer skin protects them from moisture and UV rays.
    Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Foam—Built for long-term use in busy areas, these guards keep their shape even after several collisions. They’re more flexible than polyethylene guards, and they hold up better to scrapes, scratches, and punctures.
    Plain Back—Secure with zip ties, tape, or adhesive.
    Adhesive Back—Peel and stick to any clean, smooth surface.
    Flexible—Bend around gradual curves.

    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.

    Build-Your-Own Heavy Duty Foam Tubing Guards

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Tubing Guards. Build-Your-Own Heavy Duty Foam Tubing Guards.
    Up to twice as thick as our standard tubing guards, these guards offer excellent cushioning and hold up to heavy impacts and abrasion. Mix and match elbow and straight guards to cover scaffolding on oil rigs, lifts in airplane hangars, and exposed pipes in factories. Their sealed outer surface resists chemicals, jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, and weather without cracking or soaking through. They’re bright yellow for visibility in busy areas.
