Replacement Tar Traps for Proto Pipe Classic – Pack of 2

Lost your Tar Trap? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered! Our Replacement Tar Traps are designed specifically for the Proto Pipe Classic, keeping your pipe functional and clean.

Key Features:

  • Custom-Fitted: Each Tar Trap is crafted for the Proto Pipe Classic body pipe. However, due to slight manufacturing variances, we cannot guarantee a perfect fit for every pipe.
  • Pack of 2: To improve your chances of finding a good fit, each order comes with two Tar Traps.
  • Not Compatible with Left-Handed Highbrids: If you have a left-handed Highbrid, please email us for further assistance.

Fixes for a Better Fit

If your new Tar Trap doesn’t fit perfectly, here are some tips to help:

  1. If It’s Too Big or Tight:

    • Use a file or sandpaper to carefully shave down the sides of the Tar Trap until it fits comfortably.
    • Take your time – this process requires patience and precision.
  2. If It’s Too Small or Loose:

    • Allow a small buildup of resin around the hole to help hold the Tar Trap in place.
    • Alternatively, use a slender nail and carefully hammer a tiny dent into the side of the Trap. This will create a welt to improve the fit. A second dent on the opposite side may also help.

Why Fit Issues Can Occur

Variances in manufacturing tolerances can affect the fit of replacement Tar Traps:

  • Raw Materials: Small variations in the diameter of the materials (up to 1/1000") can impact compatibility.
  • Drilling Precision: Differences in the tools used to drill Tar Trap holes, including wear and tear, can cause slight inconsistencies.

While we strive for consistency, these slight variances are unavoidable. With some adjustments, you can get your Tar Trap to fit perfectly!
