Description
The finishing piece for every open end on a yellow GRP handrail. This safety yellow plastic cap knocks into the end of 50mm GRP tube with a 5mm wall. Ribbed fins grip the bore and the 50mm head sits flush with the outside of the tube, so the rail end is smooth to the hand, matches the rail and keeps out water, dirt and nesting insects. The price shown is for one cap, with a minimum order of 10.
Why fit end caps
Safer rail ends. A cut tube end has a sharp edge; a capped end is smooth to hands and clothing.
Keeps the tube clean. Stops rain, grit and insects getting inside the rail.
Flush and matching. The head is the same 50mm diameter and the same yellow as the tube, so it looks finished.
Quick to fit. No glue or tools beyond a soft mallet.
Where it is used
Every open tube end on yellow GRP guard rails and handrails: the ends of top and knee rails, the tops of posts, at water and wastewater treatment works, chemical plants, rail depots, food factories and electrical sites.

Fitting
Cut the tube end square and remove any loose fibres. Push the cap into the bore and tap it home with a soft mallet until the head sits tight against the tube end.
Care
Wash down with the rest of the rail using water and mild detergent. Replace any cap that is knocked out or damaged.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one cap?
Yes, one end cap. The minimum order is 10.
Will it fit steel tube?
It is sized for 50mm GRP tube with a 5mm wall. Steel tube has a different bore, so the cap will not grip properly.
My GRP tube has a thinner wall. Which cap do I need?
For 1 to 3mm wall tube, use the thin wall end cap.
