Blue Correlator Guide Rail Cover 2-1/2"
Protect customer wheels and ensure smooth vehicle entry with the AVW Equipment UHMW Correlator Guide Rail Cover.
This heavy-duty, ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene sleeve is designed to shield rugged structural steel pipes from making raw, damaging contact with customer rims and tires. In Tommy Car Wash Systems tunnels, this high-density plastic sleeve slots directly over the standard 2.5-inch schedule 40 pipes used on entrance roller correlators and lane guide rails. As vehicles align themselves onto the conveyor line, the ultra-low friction coefficient of the UHMW material allows tires to glide smoothly against the rail rather than binding or scuffing. This drastically reduces wheel-damage claims while protecting the structural integrity of the steel subframe below.
Key features and benefits include:
- Ultra-Low Friction Coefficient: The high-density UHMW composite acts as a self-lubricating barrier, allowing low-profile performance tires and custom aluminum rims to slide harmlessly past the entry barrier without marring the finish.
- Extreme Impact & Abrasion Resistance: Engineered to withstand thousands of vehicle impacts daily without cracking, gouging, or compressing under heavy lateral loads.
- Chemical & Water Impervious: 100% waterproof construction that will not degrade, fade, or absorb moisture when subjected to continuous exposure to corrosive wheel cleaners, high-pH detergents, and recycled reclaim water.
- Exact Fit for 2.5" Pipes: Specially extruded to provide a snug, reliable fit over standard 2.5-inch nominal pipe sizes (2.875" actual outer diameter) used on commercial conveyor entrances.
