per Feet (USD)Adhesive Foam Rubber Strip, 1/2" Wide x 1/4" Thick
Closed-cell sponge rubber strip with peel-and-stick backing, 1/2" (12.7 mm) wide x 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick. Sold by the foot.
The Racetronix FRS-0500X025 is a closed-cell sponge rubber strip with a pressure-sensitive adhesive back. Its main job is lining clamps: when a hose or line falls between sizes, choose the next clamp size up and line it with this strip to take up the slack, grip the line and damp vibration. It is also handy for padding, anti-chafe and anti-rattle jobs.
Key features
- Size: 1/2" (12.7 mm) wide x 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick.
- Closed-cell sponge in an SCE-41B blend of neoprene, EPDM and SBR rubbers: does not soak up water.
- Good compression and rebound: springs back and keeps gripping.
- Peel-and-stick pressure-sensitive adhesive backing.
- Made for lining our billet P-clamps, dual hose separators and dual line separators.
- Sold by the foot: cut to length.
Using it with clamps
Rigid billet clamps and separators are sized to the outside diameter of the line. If your hose or line falls between two sizes:
- Choose the next clamp size up.
- Cut a length of strip to fit the inside of the clamp and stick it in place.
- Fit the clamp: the foam compresses to take up the extra space and holds the line firmly.
Each billet P-clamps page and dual hose separators page has a cross-reference showing which of our hoses and tubes need the strip.

Frequently asked questions
Is it fuel or oil resistant?
It handles splashes and general engine-bay conditions, but its oil resistance is lower than pure neoprene. Use it for clamp lining and padding, not for parts that sit in fuel or oil.
How much do I need?
Enough to line the inside of each clamp: roughly the clamp inside diameter x 3.14 per clamp, rounded up.
Will it stick to anodized aluminum?
Yes. Clean the surface first so it is free of oil and dust, then press the strip firmly in place.
