Molded Boot for Steel Tanks by XS Scuba
Protect Your Cylinder and Surfaces
Heavy steel scuba cylinders are incredibly durable, but their unprotected bottoms can easily scratch gel-coated boat decks, chip pool tiles, and slide around in the back of your truck. Furthermore, many steel tanks feature round bottoms that cannot stand upright on their own. The XS Scuba Molded Boot for Steel Tanks provides a flat, stable base for your cylinder while acting as a heavy-duty bumper, protecting both your expensive tank and the surfaces you set it on from impact damage and abrasions.
Self-Draining Durability
Water accumulation is the enemy of any steel scuba tank. If water is allowed to pool at the base of the cylinder, it can rapidly accelerate rust and corrosion. To prevent this, the XS Scuba Molded Boot features an intelligent self-draining design that allows saltwater and freshwater to easily escape and dry after a dive. Manufactured using high-quality injection-molded construction, this boot is rugged enough to support the extreme weight of high-capacity steel tanks without cracking or deforming over time.
Optimized for Boat Racks and Twins
Unlike bulky, octagonal boots that can snag or get stuck, this boot utilizes a sleek round rim design. This smooth profile allows your heavy tank to slide effortlessly in and out of standard boat racks. Additionally, the low-profile round shape makes it an excellent choice for divers setting up twin tank configurations, as it won't interfere with the tank bands. It is available in two specific sizes (7.25-inch and 8.0-inch) designed to perfectly accommodate Faber steel cylinders.
