flangeBUMPER® – Rigid Flange Protector
flangeBUMPER® are rigid flange protectors that provide heavy-duty mechanical protection for raised face flanges without the weight and handling challenges of traditional shipping blinds.
Manufactured from a tough, rigid laminate, the flangeBUMPER is designed to protect the gasket surface area of raised face flanges from the mechanical damage. The lightweight design is easy to install and remove, and the protector can be reused for multiple applications.
Available in sizes from ½" through 120" and across pressure classes, flangeBUMPERs provides reliable flange face protection for piping handling, shipping, staging, and storage.
Built for Mechanical Flange Protection
The flangeBUMPER is engineered for applications where a flange needs more than a light-duty cover. The rigid construction provides a strong barrier between the flange sealing surface and the surrounding environment, helping prevent damage from impacts, handling equipment, dropped objects, and other common hazards.
Unlike heavy metal shipping blinds, flangeBUMPERs are lightweight and do not require lifting lugs for installation or removal. This makes it easier for crews to install, remove, transport, and reuse the protector throughout a project.
Reusable Flange Protection for Shipping & Storage
flangeBUMPERs can be reused, making it a practical alternative to disposable or improvised flange protection methods.The rigid laminate will not warp, crack, split, or absorb moisture under normal service conditions. They can be attached using standard full sized bolts, UV-rated zip ties, or multiNUTS™ and machine screws. This gives crews flexibility to select the attachment method that best fits the application.
For projects requiring long-term preservation, the flangeBUMPER can be combined with a flangeDOT or flangeDOT+Tag and multiNUTS™ as part of the P3 Patented Preservation System. This combination provides corrosion protection, cleanliness protection, and rigid mechanical protection while creating an airtight and watertight seal.
