Exposed plumbing under the sink can be dangerous
for small children and people who use wheelchairs.
Handy Shield™ Safety Covers eliminate this hazard!

Sinks need to be accessible for people who use wheelchairs. You can't have a cabinet there, as the wheelchair actually tucks under the sink so that the user can reach the tap. Children often hang off the sink when they wash their hands. It's just too easy to press a foot or leg against the exposed pipes under the sink. This can result in scrapes and bruises, or burns if the hot water is being used.

Handy Shields™ are an easy and inexpensive solution. These soft PVC fittings fit over most supply feeds and p-traps under residential sinks. The shields provide insulation and protection because there is actual cushioning in the material.

The Handy Shield sets are easy to install.

• Simply wrap each piece over the pipe.

• A ¾" strip of VELCRO™ Fastener tape is welded to the material and runs around the entire opening enabling you to completely enclose the plumbing.

• Strong, ¼" self locking snaps complete the installation. The snaps are grooved to make it easy to open to service the pipe, but also deter theft because they can't be removed quickly.

The whole install takes only a few minutes. The Handy Shields come in white or black, giving them a nice clean look for any bathroom decor. There are no seams, so they are easy to clean and won't catch dirt. The Handy Shield Extended P-Trap has 3" of additional material on the neck piece that can be trimmed to fit. If you are looking for a more finished look, try The Pro-Extreme under sink protectors.
