Ergodyne 18340 Knee Pad 3 Strap Rubber Cap Universal

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 18340 is a three-strap buckle-closure knee pad designed for tradespeople who work on hard or abrasive surfaces for extended periods. It features a 12 mm NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) foam padding core enclosed in an 840-denier nylon fabric cover with a tapered shin guard profile. A hard rubber cap sits over the foam to resist wear and grip slick surfaces. The buckle closure system and elastic straps secure the pad quickly without tools. At 0.9 pounds, it fits a universal leg size and suits full-shift use across multiple trades.

This knee pad is suited for residential and light commercial work where prolonged kneeling is required — tile and flooring installation, plumbing rough-in and finish work, electrical panel and device rough-in, HVAC equipment and duct work at floor level, and general construction finishing. The tapered shin guard cover reduces pressure on the lower leg during extended kneel positions. Nickel-plated grommets reinforce the strap attachment points for durability under repeated daily use.

Installation Notes

Knee pads are donned and adjusted by the user before beginning floor-level work — no tools required. Ensure all three buckle straps are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation during extended wear. Inspect elastic straps and buckle hardware periodically for wear or cracking, and replace the pad if the foam core shows compression set or the rubber cap shows significant cracking. Personal protective equipment selection should follow applicable OSHA and site safety requirements.
