Description
A black cast iron end cap that closes off the open end of a 26.9mm tube with a neat, rounded finish. Two split legs under the round head drive into the tube bore with a soft-faced mallet and grip tight, so the cap stays put without glue and is hard to pull out. Only the slightly domed head shows, sitting flush with the outside of the tube, so there is no sharp cut edge on a handrail end or the top of a frame. The black electrophoretic finish matches black key clamp tube and fittings for indoor work. The price shown is for one end cap, with a minimum order of 10.
Why fitters use it
A safe, tidy tube end. The cap covers the cut edge of the tube, so handrail ends and frame tops are smooth to the hand and look finished.
Stays in without glue. The cast legs grip the inside of the tube, so the cap will not work loose or get pulled out.
Metal, not plastic. A cast iron head will not split, fade or crack like a plastic insert, and it matches the fittings around it.
Keeps dirt out. Closing the tube end stops dust and debris collecting inside.
Where it is used
The ends of black tube handrails on stairs, ramps and corridors, the tops of uprights on shop display frames, clothes rails and shelving, café and bar foot rails, room divider frames and indoor guardrail posts.

Choosing the right size
This cap fits tube of 26.9mm outside diameter, often sold as 3/4" or 20mm nominal bore. Measure the outside of your tube before ordering. The cap drives into the bore, so it suits standard wall thickness key clamp tube.
For the rest of a black 26.9mm frame, see the matching 90° elbow, oval base flange, side through rail support for wall handrails and single lugged bracket for fixing panels.
Fitting and care
Cut the tube square and remove any burr from the inside edge. Line the cap up with the tube end and tap it fully home with a soft-faced or rubber mallet until the head sits tight against the tube. It is designed as a permanent fit. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and touch up chips with black paint. The electrophoretic coat is for indoor use only.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one cap?
Yes. The price is for one end cap, with a minimum order of 10.
Do I need glue?
No. The legs grip the inside of the tube once it is tapped home.
Can I take it out again?
It is hard to remove once fitted, so treat it as a permanent cap.
Can I use it outside?
No. The black electrophoretic finish is for indoor use. Use galvanised fittings outdoors.
