Whether you're altering the configuration of your case's interior, or purchasing a foam set for the first time, it's the best solution to ensure your equipment is safe and secure within their own individual compartments.
This 8-piece Replacement Foam Set for the Peli 1626 Air Case includes:
- (1x) 5cm Polyurethane Convolute lid foam
- (3x) 6.8cm Polyurethane Pick N Pluck (.50" x .50" squares) base foam
- (1x) 3.7cm Polyurethane Solid base foam
- (3x) 2.1cm Polyurethane Filler base foam
The Pick N Pluck™ element of the set is die-cut into small squares that can simply be pulled out where desired, ensuring a tight and snug fit.
What is Pick N Pluck™ foam?
The majority of Peli Cases and Peli Storm Cases can be purchased pre-installed with foam. These are standard foam inserts manufactured by Peli. The inserts comprise of three parts:
- Lid foam
- Base foam
- Pick N Pluck foam
The first two are fairly self explanatory: lid foam helps to protect the top of your equipment from the case's lid while it's shut. (Lid foam is convoluted which means it has a distinctive 'egg box' appearance for easier airflow.) Base foam is a single solid layer of foam that you place - you guessed it - across the bottom of the case to cushion the underside of your equipment.
Pick N Pluck foam is the main foam component that sits in the body of the case, directly on top of the base foam. It's a do-it-yourself system that consists of one or more layers of lightly scored, pre-cubed foam which you can pick apart and shape to fit your equipment.
Simply lay your equipment on top of the foam, mark its outline on the foam (e.g. using chalk, tape or pins) then pluck away. It's recommended that you allow at least 2.5cm of foam between your equipment and the case wall.
