Description
Sunstar Tube Protective Screen | 8' Sports Guard Kit, 18" Wide | 44535050
The Sunstar 8' Sports Guard Kit is a genuine Sunstar wire guard for SIR Tough Guy Vacuum U-Tube Heaters (25,000-45,000 BTU). It wraps the underside of the emitter and reflector so volleyballs, basketballs and other flying objects bounce off the guard instead of striking the hot tube, which protects both the heater and the people below it. It is the standard choice for gymnasiums, field houses, indoor arenas and recreation centers.
This length is a single Sunstar guard part, 44535050, sized to cover the full 8-foot emitter. The guard is 18 inches wide to match the wider SIR U-tube body.

Frequently Asked Questions
What length sports guard do I need?
Match the guard to the heater's total emitter length. This kit covers a 8-foot SIR heater.
Why are there no sports guards for U-tube heaters?
Sunstar does not offer them for SIU and SPU models because a ball can get stuck between the two reflector legs of a U-tube.
