This Combo Pad is a new style of cylinder comfort pad to replace my previous iterations. It's based off of a platform type set up: 2 inch ID base pad with combinatorial gaskets with inlet diameter reduction inserts, and reinforcement rings to make a completely universal and customizable system. The current setup options accommodate 1.75-2.25" cylinders with inserts to reduce the inlet from 1.35-1.75". Designs are in progress to open that to 1.35-2.25" cyl and 1-1.75" ID respectively in the near future. Gaskets are integrated with the inserts to both anchor the insert and also reduce the number of components. These are made with a new Pt-Silicone formulation that is softer, stretchier, and stronger than my previously used formulation. Please see the product photos for additional details and specifications.
Everything is made to order so please expect 1-2 weeks before shipping. Tracking information will be sent the day or 2 before shipping.
How to Order (A La Carte)
Select pieces that you want to combine into the Combo Pad:
- Choose cylinder sizing
- Includes base 2" pad with TPU reinforcement ring and stand alone gap filler gasket (for use without reinforcement ring if desired)
- Choose insert sizing
- 1st insert is 5$, Additional is $10 and up based on material volume (Limit 2 total inserts)
- (Optional, Separate Listing) Choose additional insert
- Limit 1 additional, 2 total inserts
- (Optional, Separate Listing) Choose additional reinforcement ring
- Note - If using 2 different size cylinders, you can use with the same ID insert with mostly the same function.
- Example: There will be a 0.25" gap between the insert sleeve and cylinder wall if using a 1.75" Cylinder - 1.35" ID insert on a 2.00" cylinder.
- Note - If using 2 different size cylinders, you can use with the same ID insert with mostly the same function.
Suggestions for Sizing
Insert Sizing
I suggest about 0.1-0.15" smaller diameter insert than your base girth. This is soft silicone so the compression on the shaft is enough without being restrictive
For those with larger girths than 2", you should not need an insert. Just use the gap filler gasket.
Limit 2 inserts per order for now. Please contact me if there are further issues.
Elliptical Cylinder Sizing
For the cylinder size selection, use the smallest ID from the ellipse.
For the insert sizing, go by #1 above
Shower Pump Sizing
I suggest using 1.75" cylinder sizing for below 5" base girth and 2.25" for above. If you also have a standard cylinder, try and overlap as best you can. I'll have extra reinforcement rings available in the "Accessories" grouping.
