Riser Guard concept caps on threaded rods above an elevated pipe roller and rubber piping pier

Rooftop piping piers

The illustrated support has a metal roller between two upright rods anchored in one rubber base. Riser Guard covers each exposed upper rod tip.

Strut channel and pipe clamps

Strut pipe clamps, channel and threaded rod form the support assembly. Riser Guard is a separate rod-end cover concept, not a pipe clamp or structural support.

Thread size comes first

The planned family includes 1/4-20, 3/8-16 and 1/2-13. The prototype design specifies a 1/2-13 female thread; fit testing and production release remain to be verified.

Unistrut is a third-party brand reference for strut-channel context. No affiliation, endorsement or universal fit is represented.

Fit and availability

Does a strut brand determine which cap fits?

No. For Unistrut or other strut-channel installations, the rod diameter, thread pitch and exposed length determine the starting configuration. Fit requires review of the actual assembly.

Does Riser Guard replace a pipe clamp or roller?

No. The existing pipe clamp, roller and support hardware retain their function. Riser Guard is a cover concept for the exposed threaded-rod end.

Can I buy Riser Guard here?

Direct sales on this site are planned. Riser Guard remains in development; ordering, final specifications, pricing and shipping are not yet available.
