Kemp USA 10-201 50 Inch Rescue Tube
The 50 inch rescue tube is the preferred choice of the American Red Cross and the standard rescue tube used by guard training agencies, with the GUARD logo. It is popular for larger swimming areas such as pools, lakes, and ocean beach fronts.
All Kemp USA Rescue Tubes are made of the highest quality closed cell foam to resist erosion. They are individually hand dipped three times instead of the customary two to ensure proper adhering of the vinyl coating and extend the useful life of the equipment dramatically. The adjustable shoulder strap and tow line are made of durable nylon webbing and run through the entire tube. The Standard style is closed cell foam, vinyl coated, in Navy, Orange, Red, or Yellow, and the Grip It Rescue Tube version wraps the same tube in a flexible, durable nylon mesh casing that supports the foam cell structure and gives extra grip.

- Red Cross Preferred: Preferred choice of the American Red Cross and standard tube for guard training agencies.
- For Larger Swimming Areas: Popular for larger pools, lakes, and ocean beach fronts.
- Triple-Dipped Vinyl Coating: Hand dipped three times instead of the customary two, extending useful life dramatically.
- Closed Cell Foam: Highest quality closed cell foam to resist erosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Does the Kemp USA 50" Rescue Tube meet recognized aquatic safety standards for commercial and municipal facilities?
Yes, the Kemp USA 50" Rescue Tube is engineered to meet or exceed the rigorous equipment standards set by major agencies, including the American Red Cross and the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA). Its high-visibility red finish and prominent "GUARD" lettering ensure immediate visual identification and compliance with institutional safety audits. Procurement officers can standardize on this Rescue Flotation Device (RFD) for both pool and waterfront environments with confidence in its regulatory alignment. This adherence to industry specifications reduces liability risks for facility managers.
-
How does the material construction of this tube prevent premature failure and fluid absorption?
This rescue tube utilizes a premium closed-cell NBR/PVC foam core that is inherently resistant to water absorption, ensuring buoyancy is maintained even if the outer skin is punctured. The core is encased in a heavy-duty, dipping-process vinyl coating that creates a seamless bond, specifically preventing the delamination and cracking common in inferior glued models. This chemical-resistant barrier stands up to daily exposure to chlorine, salt water, and UV radiation without degrading. Such robust construction minimizes the risk of equipment failure during critical rescue operations.
-
What are the operational advantages of the 50-inch profile compared to standard 40-inch rescue tubes?
The 50-inch length provides superior reach and wrap-around capability, making it the preferred choice for open water, surf, and water park wave pool environments. This extended profile allows lifeguards to secure larger victims more easily using standard towing techniques, such as the cross-chest carry. Furthermore, the extra length simplifies the process of clipping the tube around a victim's torso, reducing the time required to stabilize a distressed swimmer. This versatility allows for a single SKU integration across diverse aquatic zones.
-
Is the buoyancy rating sufficient to support multi-victim rescue scenarios in deep water?
Yes, the increased volume of the 50-inch design generates significant additional buoyancy compared to standard tubes, making it capable of supporting the weight of a heavy victim or two adults. The high-density foam structure ensures consistent lift, reducing the physical exertion required by the lifeguard during towing and extraction. This load-bearing capacity is a critical safety margin for facilities managing high-volume crowds or deep-water attractions. It ensures that the device performs reliably under maximum operational stress.
-
What maintenance protocols are required to maximize the service life and TCO of this equipment?
To optimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), the tube should be rinsed with fresh water after each shift to remove corrosive chlorine or salt deposits that can prematurely age the vinyl. It is critical to store the unit flat or hung by its strap in a shaded area, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat can accelerate material fatigue. Periodic inspection of the tow strap and brass clip assembly is recommended to ensure mechanical integrity. By following these simple protocols, facilities can extend the replacement cycle and improve long-term ROI.
