S.R. Smith U-Frame Fulcrum Cover for Diving Board — 18-Inch White Rubber, Fits 1.90" OD

A durable 18-inch white U-frame fulcrum cover from S.R. Smith that slips over 1.90" outer-diameter tubing to protect and tidy residential diving board fulcrum assemblies.

This S.R. Smith FC-100A fulcrum cover is a heavy-duty rubber sleeve designed to fit U-frame diving board fulcrums used on residential pools. Its 18-inch length and white finish provide a clean, finished look while shielding metal tubing from weather, abrasion, and direct contact. Easy to install and built to last, the cover is intended for use with 1.90" outer-diameter (OD) U-frame tubing commonly found on home diving boards.

How will this fulcrum cover protect my diving board hardware?

The rubber construction cushions and shields the fulcrum tubing from everyday wear and exposure. It reduces metal-to-metal contact and helps keep moving parts cleaner by blocking dirt and moisture. While it doesn't alter board performance, it extends the longevity of the visible fulcrum components.

• Heavy-duty rubber resists abrasion and weathering.
• Fully covers 18" of U-frame tubing for broad protection.
• White finish reflects sunlight to minimize heat buildup.

Will this fit my diving board's U-frame tubing?

The FC-100A is sized for U-frame tubing with a 1.90" outer diameter, so confirm the tube measurement before ordering. The sleeve is manufactured to slip over typical residential fulcrum frames; it will not fit substantially larger or smaller diameters. If you have a commercial or nonstandard fulcrum, check dimensions or contact S.R. Smith for compatibility.

• Designed specifically for 1.90" OD tubing.
• 18" length accommodates most residential fulcrum spans.
• Not intended for oversized commercial frames without verification.

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward: slide the rubber cover over the U-frame tubing and position it to cover the fulcrum area. No special tools or adhesives are typically required for residential setups. Maintenance involves periodic rinsing and inspection; the rubber surface wipes clean and resists common pool chemicals, though routine checks help catch wear early.

• Slip-on installation — no tools generally needed.
• Wipes and rinses clean for simple upkeep.
• Inspect seasonally for tears or UV-related wear.

What aesthetic or practical differences does the white sleeve make?

The white color gives a neat, coordinated appearance that blends with many diving boards and pool decks. Practically, lighter color reduces surface heat from sun exposure and makes damage or dirt easier to spot. The finish can also present a more professional look for homeowners who prefer a finished, uniform fulcrum assembly.

• White finish offers a clean, uniform look on residential setups.
• Lighter color helps minimize heat absorption.
• Makes inspections simpler by revealing discoloration or cuts.

Who this is for: Homeowners with residential diving boards that use 1.90" OD U-frame tubing who want a durable, easy-to-install cover to protect and neaten the fulcrum area. It’s ideal for public-facing pools or private backyards where appearance, basic protection, and low maintenance are priorities. For commercial installations or nonstandard frame sizes, verify measurements or consult S.R. Smith for alternatives.
