Yellow Plastic End Cap for 42.4mm Round Tube, Push-In

A yellow plastic end cap for 42.4mm round tube. It pushes into the open end of the tube: a ribbed plug grips the inside wall and a round head covers the cut edge. It keeps water, dirt and insects out, takes away the sharp edge and gives the tube a neat finish in seconds, with no tools or glue. It suits tube with a wall thickness of 2.6 to 4.0mm. The price shown is for one cap, with a minimum order of 15.

Why choose this end cap

Push in, done. The ribbed plug locks against the inside of the tube, so it fits by hand and stays put.

Safer ends. The round head covers sharp cut edges that catch hands and clothes.

Keeps the tube clean. Rain, leaves and insects cannot get into the tube, so it does not rust or fill from the inside.

The right colour. Safety yellow matches yellow barriers and guard rails, and makes tube ends easy to see.

Where it is used

On handrails, guard rails, barriers, frames and furniture made from 42.4mm round tube.

Specifications

How many do you need?

One per open tube end. Count both ends of every rail, plus the tops of posts and the feet of frames, and remember the minimum order of 15.

Is this the right cap?

Measure the outside of the tube, then check the wall thickness: the cap fits 42.4mm round tube with a 2.6 to 4.0mm wall. A thinner wall leaves it loose; a thicker wall stops it going in.

Fitting and care

Cut the tube square and take off any burr inside the end so the ribs can grip. Line the cap up and push it in until the head sits flat on the tube. For a tight fit, tap it home with a soft rubber mallet. Fit after painting, not before.
